A CD with errors (scratches etc.) blocks the whole system while reading damadged files
i have a plextor cd-rw drive which i use via scsi emulation, it is the only device on my second ide bus.
often when i rip cds with grip that have scratches, grip completely stops responding to input and signals, even -9 wont go through. today i tried waiting for over half an hour for it to terminate, got bored and quit X. the grip process died after doing that but the kernel's scsi layer kept spewing error messages on my console and my machine "lagged" on about 10-15 second intervals a few seconds at a time. i waited over an hour for it to give up, but it didn't so i had to reboot. kernel version i'm using is 2.4.17.
