GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 149473
Please add "verify image after burn" option
Last modified: 2007-11-05 13:49:26 UTC
Some speeds / media can eventually produce a damaged CD image. Having an option to verify the image after burning would be very helpful.
This is a duplicate of bug 125470.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 125470 ***
This bug is not a duplicate of bug 125470 (which is about adding MD5 files to the disk and some other things). Somebody authorized, please remove the bogus DUPLICATE designation.
BTW, as somebody suggested in one of the dups of this one, verifying the write should be the default behavior. With fast writers (8x) and even faster readers, verification doesn't take that long.
Also, I question the "enhancement" severity of this bug. Since not verifying the disks makes people write broken CDs / DVDs without any warning, we currently have a problem with data loss. According to "http://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=bug-status.html#bug_severity" this implies severity Critical: "Crashes, causes loss of data, or is a severe memory leak." Somebody authorized, please modify the priority accordingly.
