Hi there,

is the following a known problem?

For copying a CD, I made an image by just using
cat /dev/sr0 >cd.img

In the meantime, I wanted to inspect the CD. Mounting and accessing the CD
caused the cat command to abort with I/O error. Doing the cat again without
any concurrent access to the CD, it worked.
Concurrent access to other devices on the SCSI bus does not harm.

This is bad behaviour IMHO.

Details: Linux-2.2.2-ac7, SMP, ncr53c8xx (Tekram DC390F), Plextor Px32Ts
More details on request.
