I'm using port sysutils/dvd+rw-tools to prepare software we use and need on DVD for updates and so forth. Since a couple of time with 12-CURRENT, I face a problem on a Fujitsu Celsius with a older DVD burner model (FreeBSD 11-CURRENT and 11.0 didn't show the problem!). The workstation's hardware is (from dmesg): [...] CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v3 @ 3.50GHz (3492.01-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin="GenuineIntel" Id=0x306f2 Family=0x6 Model=0x3f Stepping=2 Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE> Features2=0x7dfefbff<SSE3,PCLMULQDQ,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,SMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,SDBG,FMA,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,PCID,DCA,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,x2APIC,MOVBE,POPCNT,TSCDLT,XSAVE,OSXSAVE,AVX,F16C,RDRAND> AMD Features=0x2c100800<SYSCALL,NX,Page1GB,RDTSCP,LM> AMD Features2=0x21<LAHF,ABM> Structured Extended Features=0x37ab<FSGSBASE,TSCADJ,BMI1,AVX2,SMEP,BMI2,ERMS,INVPCID,PQM,NFPUSG> Structured Extended Features3=0xc000000<IBPB,STIBP> XSAVE Features=0x1<XSAVEOPT> VT-x: (disabled in BIOS) PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,UG,VPID,VID,PostIntr TSC: P-state invariant, performance statistics real memory = 34359738368 (32768 MB) avail memory = 33054359552 (31523 MB) [...] The recent DVD/CDROM drive is: cd0 at ahcich9 bus 0 scbus7 target 0 lun 0 cd0: <hp DVD A DH16ABLH 3HD9> Removable CD-ROM SCSI device cd0: Serial Number xxxxxxx cd0: 150.000MB/s transfers (SATA 1.x, UDMA5, ATAPI 12bytes, PIO 8192bytes) but the failure is also seen on other burner (also some older types). When burning a normal CDROM image, maximum ~ 700MB, either on a DVD or a CDROM W (via cdrecord or growisofs) everything is all right, the burn finishes. Whenever I try to burn a DVD larger than ~ 2 - 3 GB, I receive an error: segmentation fault (growisofs) and there are lots of error messages from the CAM susbsystem on the console: [...] Oct 17 07:45:33 <kern.crit> freyja kernel: (cd0:ahcich9:0:0:0): READ(10).

After the burn broke, the drive never stops spinning at high speed and I have no chance to stop the spinning except rebooting the box. trying to reset the CAM bus via camcontrol doesn't have any effect.
Just to add this: the same happens with an external USB (3.0) attached Lenovo ThinkPad DVD-Writer drive!
