I need to copy Codonics medical data from CD to ISO. I insert an CDROM in the CD drive TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H653H of my Dell Precision T1600. The system detects and mounts the CD when you insert it in Debian. In copying, dd fails systematically but readom is the only successful differential tool. However, cp also fails so there must be better differential tools in copying CDs to ISO in commandline, related LinuxJournal's article here. Workflow

This is the first release of Debian that utilises the new 'systemd' suite that improves system start up speeds. To install Debian 8.0 simply follow the instruction guide below: To download your iso image of Debian 8.0, simply click this Link: Download Debian 8.0 From this page, there are multiple ways that you can download Debian. The netinst CD here is a small CD image that contains just the core Debian installer code and a small core set of text-mode programs (known as 'standard' in Debian). To install a desktop or other common software, you'll also need either an Internet connection or some other Debian CD/DVD images.

  1. Unmount cdrom

  2. Run copy command as pseudocode

Successful workflow with readom but some error

Atoponce's command proposal of readom

  • Its docs

    Many like to use 'dd' for creating CD/DVD iso images. This is bad. Very bad. The reason this is, is 'dd' doesn't have any built-in error checking. So, you don't know if you got all the bits or not. As such, it is not the right tool for the job. Instead, 'reaom' (read optical media) from the wodim package is what you should be using. It has built-in error checking. Similarly, if you want to burn your newly creating ISO, stay away from 'dd', and use: wodim -v -eject /path/to/image.iso

Workflow

Output: seems to be correctly copied CDROM to .iso but not sure why the error. Tested CDs: 3.

Unsuccessful cp workflow

Failed dd attempts so deprecate dd for the task

I get the following message with the command dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/masi/Desktop/image.iso in Debian

Other failed copy commands with dd

  1. with bs and conv

  2. with conv only

Testing jc___ profiling proposal successfully

So do instead where non-root works, ensuring that nothing is keeping CDROM busy, and activating filebrowser of the CDROM explicitly

Testing ThomasSchmitt's proposal

I do unsuccessfully by umounting and xorriso

Testing the quality of the output

It seems that the copied ISO file does to have any errors so it should be a complete duplicate of the CD. Do for certainty by looking both file trees

Output: no lines in less output meaning complete equivalence; I tested also completely different contents where complete difference so the output is the same as expected output in both cases.

System characteristics

  • I do dmesg | grep cd returns

  • Doing lsscsi -s gives

I am developer of libburn and work since a year with about the samesystem as mentioned here. Kernel 3.16 has a few CD regressionstowards 2.6, but the use case of copying data should work fine.

I rather see bit rot here (readom is unmaintained), user errors(wrong device files, readom on mounted medium), and the 'read-ahead bug' with CD media written with write type Track-At-Once (i/o error).The i/o error could have been caused by a poorly readable medium as well.

In detail:

There is no /dev/scd0 on vanilla Debian 8. Only /dev/sr0 andpossibly symbolic links like /dev/cdrom, dev/dvd, ...So all failures with scd0 are trivially explainable.The advise to run wodim -scanbus is futile without having /dev/scdX,as wodim looks only at those addresses.

readom docs are typically copied from readcd and thus reflectthe peculiar view of the author of cdrecord and readcd.Nevertheless it should work, of course.

For copying from a data CD, a DVD, or a BD medium, dd and cpare well ok.There is few use of dd options conv=sync,notrunc here.conv=sync is indeed dangerous with certain data sources as it willinject zeros when the data source delivers less than bs bytes perread operation. (Should never happen with CD and bs=2048.)

'Input/output error' is not caused by the copy program but a messagefrom the kernel to those programs. It is normally caused by an errorindication of the drive.

In this special case it turned out to be the classic 'CD read-ahead bug'.The last one or two blocks of a CD (not of DVD or BD) may stay unreadablebecause some drives report one or both Track-At-Once run-out blocks aspart of the payload data, which they are not.

In most cases dd and cp on kernel 3.16 deliver all payload blocksbefore they abort by i/o error.For older kernels or unlucky situations, there isthe mkisofs tradition to add 300 kB of padding when ISOs get produced.If some of these 300 KB are not delivered by the kernel, then this doesnot damage the content of files in the ISO.

If the i/o error had happened before the last two blocks of a CD, thenit would more likely have been caused by poorly readable medium. In thiscase the advice would be to look in dmesg output or /var/log/messagesfor reports like:

This was a classic medium error. No software problem.Not even a drive problem on the first hand.

'(Device or resource busy)' error comes from the attempt to opena device file with open(2) flag O_EXCL in its non-portable role forLinux devices. See here for open() peculiarities on CD burner device files.

mount(8) has the device open with that flag. Well behaved burn programsshould use the flag too and thus learn when they try to use a mounted orburning drive.

readom uses it in order to avoid spoiling ongoing burn runs.

So for readom or burn programs one has to first unmount the medium.The advise to unmount before copying is not mandatory with dd and cp.

Answer to question about libburn based data reading:

One could try a dd_rescue-ish command of xorriso

The copy should emerge as file ~/cdrom_copy.iso.Read errors will be reported and copy attempts will go on with the nextblock. The file ~/cdrom_sector_map will record the pattern of failedand successful reads. Another read run will load it and then try onlythose blocks which were not yet copied successfully.

A successful run should end by a message like

A run with remaining bad blocks would have 'Media region' lines with'-' characters in the quality column. '+' indicates successfully readintervals of blocks. '0' indicates blocks which were not tried yet.(Between tracks they may stay that way. A CD-ROM is supposed tohave only one track.)

CD Track-At-Once run-out blocks cause '-' quality. If this occurs only atone of the last two blocks of a CD, then most likely all payload blockshave been copied to ~/cdrom_copy.iso.

If you want to abort this quite stubborn program run then it is betterto do in another shell:

If you kill the process instead, then the sector map will not bewritten and the next run will re-read already copied blocks.

After full success or with only the last one or two blocks missingyou should next test whether no files in the copied ISO point tomissing block addresses.

As superuser (or via sudo):

which should report this note but no further error messages:

As normal user let tar read all file and consume the output by wc:

which should report no i/o error but only a warning and finally three numbers

If the CD is readable enough to be mountable, then compare the filesof cdrom_copy.iso and the CD by creating another mount directory and mount /dev/sr0:

and then compare both file trees. Pipe the output into less so that incase of many differences it does not flood your terminal

Empty output indicates no differences.Try with mounting a different CD and you should get lots of messages like

If files with same relative path in both trees have different content you will see messages like

When all is ok, then remove file ~/cdrom_sector_map so that it cannot keep xorriso from reading blocks from the next CD to which you have toapply this whole procedure.
