I burned identical raw encrypted data to three cds using my new external Toshiba drive. My internal IBM read only drive does not get an I/O Error when reading in Circumstance #1, but does get an I/O Error in Circumstance #2. But, the Toshiba drive can do both circumstances without an error.
(python scripting used in example)
Circumstance #1 (No I/O Error)
Circumstance #2 (Gets I/O Error)
Why can my IBM read-only-drive read the data if I ask for it all at once, but if I skip around and read random ranges of that data, it gives me an error always at the same range of data I try to read on all three identical burned cd's? FYI: The Toshiba decrypts the data perfectly, so it's not bad seek in my programming.
In case you are wondering why I am doing this it is custom encrypted data that I burned to a cd. This is a link to the python script. https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3C...MzFkODYw&hl=en Launch it with: sudo python app.py But do not do it unless you are on a live distro and you have first removed all drives, unless you know what you are doing. (It's as dangerous as partitioning!)
so i noticed that when a shell script has a function defined in it, running "sh -x" on that shell script from the command line doesnt show what the function is doing. i like this.
is there anyway for anyone to get around that? to be able to see exactly what a function or functions are doing? (4 Replies)

I do that:

This one I understand, it's what i expected, from a string point of view 1<10<2<20
