I feel your pain. Imagine having a 18 month old who
figured out how to use the eject button at the ripe
age of 15 months and not only that but knows how to
load and unload tapes and dvds, switch the buttons
(although this may be dumb luck), open the dvd
holders. Thankfully the doors are too hard for her to
open yet. Putting videos up high doesn't work it only
adds to the excitement, by incorporating a climbing
expedition to the retrieval of "CARE BEARS!". God if I
see the Care Bear Movie one more time ...

I've noticed Linux has problems dealing with read
errors on all sorts of devices. A read error tolerence
module would be a nice addition to the Linux core. I
have noticed that some devices and some drivers are
better at this than others. For example my Plextor
devices have always dealt better with anomolies than
my Lite-On DVD Writer and any non-Plextor removable
storage I've owned.
