  • I was scanning media (disk, tape, etc)...
  • I was retrieving device information...

Description

When dumping, Aaru says that the drive reports a certain number of blocks two times, with both times being different from one another, with a difference of 1. For this specific disc, ImgBurn confirms a block number of 2992384, so that seems to be the right one.

Exact command line used

aaru m dump D: Nutcracker.aaruf

Expected behavior

Blocks reported to be identical

Actual behavior

Blocks reported off by one of each other.
