Description
right now, the only way you'll find out if dma was disabled is after you start burning on the disc and find your computer rendered unresponsive for the next 50-70 minutes (if you're writing a full dvd) and you're left with two options: leave the computer at peace and go buy your groceries till the burning is done or abort the process and ruin a perfectly fine disc..

i wish if brasero could warn me first about the situation..

I agree. There's a bug in the power management Linux uses for my drive, meaning I have to reset it via a command every few hours. Resetting turns off DMA, which has come back to haunt me later.

This is also a problem in K3b
