While doing a long mega-copy from one side of a DVD-RAM disc formatted
with the vfat filesystem to an smbfs network share, I got lots and
lots of these in the dmesg:

Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 4396
lost page write due to I/O error on sr0
sr 6:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08
sr 6:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : 0x7 [current]
sr 6:0:0:0: [sr0] <<vendor>> ASC=0x92 ASCQ=0x0ASC=0x92 ASCQ=0x0
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 17584
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 4396
lost page write due to I/O error on sr0

The DVD-RAM is detected like so (my system is an nVidia nForce 590
SLI, with kernel 2.6.22.1 and the new SCSI-using PATA/SATA drivers in
use):

pata_amd 0000:00:0c.0: version 0.3.8

Are the above errors related to media flaws, drive flaws, driver
flaws, or usage flaws (i.e. "I copied $LARGE_AMOUNT from a DVD-RAM
disc to a network share", "Don't do that.")?
