The 'All probes failed — possible wedge condition' log fired during patch
probing whenever 10+ consecutive failures hit AND a probe sweep at the
local zone returned 0 successes. This was distinct from the read_error.rs
'wedge_transition' log that fires when the SCSI sense family ACTUALLY
flips into Hardware/IllegalRequest fast-fail mode.
Two logs both saying 'wedge' caused operator confusion during the
2026-05-11 Dune Pt 2 wedge investigation — was the drive wedged, or was
it just a zone of fully-bad sectors? They mean different things.
Relabel to 'patch_zone_fully_bad' with explicit pointer to read_error.rs
for the canonical wedge detection. Same triggering condition; just clearer
wording in the log stream.
Rewrites the Pass 1 wedge handling from "slow skip after the drive
has already wedged" to "prevent the wedge transition in the first
place." Driven by 2026-05-11 empirical data: the BU40N transitioned
into IllegalRequest fast-fail mode at exactly 7 medium errors in
6.5 seconds (~1 read/sec retry cadence). Once there, only physical
eject + reload clears it — 30s pauses + 1 GB jumps do not.
The fix is the user's mental model from that session:
"We can detect bad reads, failed reads, and asking to read again
fast after causes a wedge. We need to prevent the wedge in the
first place."
Two changes to the centralized error handler:
1. **`for_sweep().fast_jump_threshold = 1`** (was 4). Pass 1 now
JumpAheads on the FIRST outer-batch failure, not the 4th. The
drive never gets back-to-back retries at the same LBA in Pass 1
— every error → jump 64 MB forward + long cooldown. Pass N keeps
`fast_jump_threshold = u64::MAX` because retries on already-known-
bad LBAs are its whole job.
2. **`ZONE_ENTRY_COOLDOWN_SECS = 30`**. The FIRST error after a
clean run (when `consecutive_outer_failures == 1` and we're not
bisecting) uses this long pause instead of the standard 5 s
FAIL_PAUSE_SECS. Gives the BU40N's firmware / bridge internal
retry counters 30 s of breathing room before the next read,
preventing the "7 errors in 6.5 s" cascade. Subsequent errors
in the same zone use the standard 5 s pause (we've already
jumped past the initial damage; further errors mean we landed
in another bad cluster).
Pass N exempt from the zone-entry cooldown — `bisect_on_marginal=
true` skips the long-pause arm. Pass N's per-sector retries on
known-bad LBAs would multiply uselessly with 30 s/error.
Test updates: 4 tests' expected behavior changed under the new
policy. Renamed `pass_1_marginal_skips_instead_of_bisecting` →
`pass_1_marginal_jumps_immediately_not_bisecting`. Renamed
`pass_1_jumps_after_4_consecutive_outer_failures` →
`pass_1_jumps_immediately_on_first_outer_failure`. Updated
`both_passes_pause_on_failed_read_for_wedge_avoidance` (now
`pass_1_zone_entry_uses_long_cooldown` + `pass_n_pauses_uniformly_on_failed_read`).
Cost analysis:
- Clean disc (no errors): unchanged. 0% overhead.
- Lightly damaged (1-2 zones): +30 s per zone = ~1 min total. Fine.
- Heavily damaged (10+ zones): +5+ min total. The trade for never
wedging the drive and getting a usable Pass N afterwards.
Expected behavior on the next damaged-disc rip:
- Pass 1 hits damage at LBA X → jumps 64 MB forward immediately,
pauses 30 s
- Drive's firmware never accumulates the retry pressure that triggers
IllegalRequest fast-fail
- bytes_maybe accumulates faster (we skip more), but Pass N picks up
the slack with proper per-sector recovery — and Pass N can actually
RUN because the drive isn't wedged
Pass N now reads at 32 sectors per attempt and drops to 1 only on
batch-read failure to probe each sector individually. After 16
consecutive clean single-sector reads it climbs back to 32. Net
effect: NonTrimmed regions walk ~32x faster in clean stretches
without sacrificing per-sector recovery quality — the drop-to-1
retry from the same cursor position guarantees every sector in a
failed batch is individually attempted.
Design contract:
- A batch-read failure (count > 1) is NOT a recorded failure: no
NonTrimmed mark, no consecutive_failures bump, no damage_window
push, cursor stays put. We just drop current_batch to 1 and the
loop re-attempts the same position at single-sector granularity.
- A single-sector failure (count == 1) follows the existing path:
NonTrimmed mark, consecutive_failures++, damage_window.push(false),
post-failure pause, wedge probes.
- Backtrack always at count=1: this path fills a gap that the main
loop's damage-window skip jumped over. Using batched reads there
would lump good sectors into NonTrimmed marks when the gap
contains even one bad sector.
State machine adds:
- `initial_batch` (from opts.block_sectors, default 32 in patch_internal)
- `current_batch` (mutable, starts at initial_batch, drops to 1 on
batch failure)
- `consecutive_singles_ok` (counter, resets on upscale + failure)
- `ADAPTIVE_UPSCALE_THRESHOLD = 16` (matches sweep's pattern for
"16 consecutive good = back to fast mode")
Tests:
- pass_n_size_aware_skip.rs PatternedSectorReader now fills each
sector with its OWN LBA byte (not the starting LBA's byte). This
matches real drive behavior — the pre-0.18.13 fixture's
"fill whole batch with one byte" was a shortcut that only worked
when patch read 1 sector at a time. Existing recovery-quality
assertions all still pass under adaptive batching.
User spec: "try 32, pass, great, fail -> do 1 sector"
User design call after watching Pass 2 mark ~20 KB as "Cosmetic"
(permanently Unreadable) after just 10 retries within a single pass:
"i think it's good or maybe until all passes are done. then it's
gone."
That contradicts what the multi-pass design promises a user. The
project goal in project docs is "recover 100% of readable data from any
optical disc, automatically." Marking sectors Unreadable after a
SINGLE pass's per-range retry budget gives up on sectors that
subsequent passes might recover — drive reads are stochastic, the
sector that fails 10 times in Pass 2 may succeed on attempt 1 in
Pass 3 after temperature / bus state / prior-read patterns shift.
The patch.rs doc comment already noted ~36% of patch-marked
Unreadable sectors turned out to be readable in re-rip experiments.
Three sites in `Disc::patch` were emitting `PatchItem::Unreadable`
mid-pass:
- backtrack hit damage (line ~2659)
- all-retries-exhausted on a single LBA (line ~2846)
- redundant second mark after the wedge-suspicion log (line ~2970)
All three now emit `PatchItem::NonTrimmed` instead. Failed bytes
stay "maybe" (NonTrimmed) so the next pass gets another shot. The
per-range skip-limit (10) and per-pass wedge-threshold (50) still
bound time-per-pass; they just no longer turn the bytes terminal.
The `PatchItem::Unreadable` variant stays in the enum (with
#[allow(dead_code)]) because the orchestrator-side end-of-recovery
promotion will use it: autorip, after the final retry pass
completes, scans the mapfile and promotes still-NonTrimmed →
Unreadable. That promotion lands in a follow-up commit on the
autorip side — separable from this libfreemkv change.
Loss accounting unchanged: `bytes_pending + bytes_unreadable` is
the "lost or pending" total that `abort_on_lost_secs` consults
(disc/mod.rs:1327). Moving bytes from one bucket to the other
mid-pass doesn't affect whether the rip would abort; it only
affects display (UI shows "Maybe" vs "Cosmetic") and whether
subsequent passes retry the bytes (the actual fix).
Test update: `test_pass_progress_separates_unreadable_from_pending`
was renamed to `test_pass2_leaves_failed_reads_as_pending_not_unreadable`
and rewritten to assert the new invariant — Pass 2 leaves all
failed bytes as bytes_pending (no mid-pass Unreadable promotion).
Original assertions were checking the pre-design-call behavior.
Precommit (cargo +1.86 fmt + clippy + test) green.
User's design call after watching the avoidance work prevent a wedge
on the live rip (no wedge events across 6 read errors): "Pass N
and 1 should both be very very similar in recovery. almost identical
just smaller sectors imo in pass n. pause times the same imo as a
failed read is a failed read."
The error-handling code path was already centralized (one
handle_read_error fn, called by both Disc::sweep and Disc::patch).
The TUNING was split — Pass 1 used 5 s inter-error pauses + a
wedge-skip-and-continue policy; Pass N used 1 s pauses + immediate
AbortPass on HARDWARE_ERROR / ILLEGAL_REQUEST. That asymmetry made
Pass N vulnerable to the same wedge that Pass 1's avoidance fixed.
Changes:
1. FAIL_PAUSE_SECS = 5 — single constant, applied uniformly to both
passes. Dropped PASS_1_FAIL_PAUSE_SECS and POST_FAILURE_PAUSE_SECS
in favor of one value. CONSECUTIVE_FAIL_LONG_PAUSE_SECS kept as a
distinct (but currently equal) value for future tuning escalation.
2. HARDWARE_ERROR / ILLEGAL_REQUEST path is now symmetric:
- Pass 1: JumpAhead WEDGE_JUMP_SECTORS (1 GB) + WEDGE_PAUSE_SECS
cooldown, mark skipped region NonTrimmed.
- Pass N: JumpAhead WEDGE_PASS_N_SKIP_SECTORS (64 sectors / 128 KB)
+ WEDGE_PAUSE_SECS cooldown. Pass N's batch=1 means a 1 GB skip
would abandon the entire current NonTrimmed range; small skip
moves past the bricked LBA + buffer, outer patch loop picks up
the next sector.
- Both share WEDGE_ABORT_THRESHOLD — same 16-skip budget before
real AbortPass on a permanently stuck drive.
3. wedge_skip / wedge_abort tracing logs now include `pass=1|N`
so post-mortems can see which pass hit the wedge condition.
Cost analysis:
Pre-reframe worry was "5 s × 5500 NonTrimmed sectors per Pass N
pass × 7 passes = 53 hours." Reality: most NonTrimmed sectors
recover on first or second retry, so most reads are successful and
pay 0 pause. The few that DON'T recover hit the 10-skip budget and
get marked Unreadable — bounded at 10 × 5 s = 50 s per truly-bad
sector. Worst-case Pass N pause overhead on a typical damaged disc
is single-digit minutes, not hours. And it's strictly cheaper than
the alternative (wedge kills the entire multi-pass recovery).
Tests:
- `both_passes_pause_on_failed_read_for_wedge_avoidance` — locks the
unified pause-tuning policy (was pass_1_pauses_briefly).
- `pass_n_hardware_error_also_skips_not_aborts` — was
`pass_n_hardware_error_still_aborts`. New behavior verified:
JumpAhead with WEDGE_PASS_N_SKIP_SECTORS + WEDGE_PAUSE_SECS.
- `pass_n_hardware_error_aborts_after_threshold` — new. Confirms
Pass N respects the same WEDGE_ABORT_THRESHOLD as Pass 1.
- pass_1_does_not_pause_on_skip is gone (it was the old "Pass 1
pause=0" assertion, irrelevant after the avoidance work).
Empirical validation: avoidance was already proven on a live rip
tonight — 6 read errors on a damaged disc, sense_family=Medium
throughout, wedge_count=0, Pass 1 continued cleanly past 40%
where it previously died at 48%. This commit extends the same
discipline to Pass N's recovery loop.
Precommit (cargo +1.86 fmt + clippy + test) green.
Wires the existing PassSummary infrastructure (in read_error.rs as
of a832bad) into the sweep loop's exit path. One INFO log line per
Pass 1 completion gives operators an at-a-glance damage profile
without grepping per-error WARN lines:
INFO pass1_summary total_reads_ok=384521 total_errors=5
zones_entered=1 jumps_taken=2
bytes_good=38_725_644_288 bytes_pending=46_GB
copy_elapsed_ms=1751650
Particularly useful for post-mortem analysis when combined with
the per-error structured WARN logs (ms_since_last_error /
ms_since_last_success / sense_family / wedge_transition) shipped
in 0.18.10. Single line tells you the pass shape; preceding WARN
lines tell you the per-error detail.
Pass N (Disc::patch) intentionally NOT covered in this commit —
Pass N has its own retry-budget summary semantics that warrant a
separate design pass. Pass 1 sweep is where wedge incidents
originate, so it gets the diagnostic surface first.
Staged for 0.18.11. 0.18.10 already shipped the per-error WARN
layer; this is the finishing companion log.
Adds the observability we need to debug wedge incidents from logs
alone — without needing to enable verbose TRACE-level SCSI tracing.
Goal stated by user: "when error occurs we can debug and code
correctly."
Pre-fix the WARN log on each read error showed only sense codes
and consecutive_failures. Missing: timing context (was the failed
read fast or slow?), gap to previous events (cumulative vs.
immediate failure?), and family transitions (did the drive just
flip into wedge mode, or has it been there?).
New fields on ReadCtx (no caller signature change):
last_success_at: Option<Instant>
last_error_at: Option<Instant>
last_error_family: Option<SenseFamily>
total_errors: u64
total_reads_ok: u64
zones_entered: u64
jumps_taken: u64
in_damage_zone: bool
New SenseFamily enum (NotReady / Medium / Hardware / IllegalRequest
/ Other) with is_wedge_family predicate.
handle_read_error WARN log now carries:
consecutive_failures
consecutive_outer_failures
ms_since_last_error NEW gap between this and previous error
ms_since_last_success NEW gap to last good read
total_errors NEW aggregate this pass
total_reads_ok NEW
wedge_count
sense_family NEW typed category, easier to filter
sense_key / asc / ascq (existing)
NEW WARN log "wedge_transition" fires once when the sense family
changes from non-wedge to wedge (Medium to Hardware/IllegalRequest).
That's the moment the drive's firmware flipped into fast-fail
mode. Single timestamped event in the log so post-mortems can
pinpoint the transition without scanning thousands of TRACE lines.
Worked example: if the next wedge incident shows
read_error ms_since_last_success=18234 ms_since_last_error=null
read_error ms_since_last_success=28000 ms_since_last_error=10000
read_error ms_since_last_success=43000 ms_since_last_error=68
(drive returned <100ms = wedge symptom)
wedge_transition errors_in_zone=5 ms_since_last_success=43000
we can immediately tell cumulative damage, 5 errors over 43 s,
drive went into fast-fail mode at the 5th. If instead we see
read_error ms_since_last_success=200 ms_since_last_error=null sense_family=Hardware
wedge_transition errors_in_zone=1
the wedge was triggered by ONE read at a physically-bricked LBA
(immediate fast-fail, no warm-up).
These two patterns demand different tuning responses (longer
pause vs. larger initial jump), and now we can distinguish them
from a single WARN log line each instead of needing TRACE
verbose for the whole rip.
Plus jumps_taken / zones_entered counters that feed an end-of-pass
INFO summary (PassSummary). Caller invokes pass_summary at sweep
end and logs structured stats: "Pass 1 saw N errors / M ok reads
/ K zones / J jumps". Single-line post-mortem for any rip.
No caller signature change (timing is internal to the handler;
end-of-pass summary is a new method callers opt into). Precommit
green; 433+ tests pass. Staged for the 0.18.10 release once we
have user-validation data on 0.18.9's avoidance tuning.
Complements the wedge-skip backstop (fbdb50c) with proactive
avoidance so we don't HIT the wedge in the first place. User's
take after seeing the Dune Pt 2 rip wedge at 48%: 'we shouldn't be
wedging.'
Empirical observations from the 23:09:12-23:09:55 wedge timeline:
5 read errors over 43 s, ~8 s apart (drive's own ECC recovery
takes 5-10 s per failure). Not 'hammering' in any usual sense,
but cumulative firmware-state buildup over 5 in-cluster errors
was enough to tip the BU40N into wedge mode at the 5th error.
Damage cluster spanned ~140 MB (LBAs 19.898M-19.965M). Current
damage-jump base of 256 sectors × batch=32 = 16 MB first jump,
doubling to 32 MB, 64 MB... Each jump landed BACK INSIDE the
140 MB cluster, exposing the drive to MORE in-cluster errors.
Two avoidance levers:
1. Inter-error pause on Pass 1 (PASS_1_FAIL_PAUSE_SECS = 5 s):
pre-fix Pass 1 ran pause_secs=0 on all errors to 'zoom past'
damage zones. Successful reads still zoom at zero pause — the
pause applies only to FAILED reads, giving the drive's firmware
cool-down between cluster exposures. Cost: ~5 s per scattered
failure (~30-60 s total on a damage cluster); trivial vs.
crashing the rip at 48%.
2. Larger damage-jump base (JUMP_BASE_SECTORS = 1024, up from
256): first jump at batch=32 now covers 64 MB instead of 16 MB,
second jump 128 MB instead of 32 MB. Two jumps clear 192 MB —
well past most single-cluster damage patterns. Smaller jumps
were landing inside the cluster and adding to the wedge counter.
Plus a halt-aware sleep helper (sleep_secs_or_halt) so the new
inter-error pause doesn't degrade halt response time. Halt poll
granularity 100 ms — halt fires within ~100 ms regardless of
remaining pause time. Updated three sleep call sites in disc/mod.rs
(SkipBlock pause, JumpAhead post-pause, Retry pause).
The wedge-SKIP backstop (fbdb50c) stays — combined with this
avoidance work, the flow becomes:
damage cluster encountered →
pause 5 s, mark NonTrimmed →
second failure →
pause 5 s, mark NonTrimmed →
...
threshold hit →
damage-jump 64 MB (clears 95% of clusters) →
if jump lands in another cluster: 128 MB next jump →
only if drive STILL wedges after all this:
wedge-skip kicks in (1 GB jump + 30 s cooldown × 16 budget)
Tests:
pass_1_pauses_briefly_on_skip_for_wedge_avoidance — locks the
new 5 s pause behavior in place (replaces the old pause=0 test).
integration test threshold bumped from 5 s to 60 s with comment
explaining the new bound is 'not infinite' rather than
'milliseconds-fast'.
All 433+ tests green on cargo +1.86 fmt + clippy + test.
Precommit green.
Pre-fix: when the drive returned HARDWARE_ERROR or ILLEGAL_REQUEST
during Pass 1 sweep, libfreemkv immediately returned ReadAction::
AbortPass. Autorip surfaced this as a fatal error and stopped the
rip at whatever progress percentage Pass 1 had reached — typically
40-50%. On a disc with one physical-damage cluster, the user would
see Pass 1 die at ~48% with the cryptic message 'E6000: <lba>
0x02/0x04/0x3e' and have no rip output to work with.
Root cause analysis: BU40N firmware transitions into a fast-fail
state when it hits cumulative read failures in a small LBA range —
returns HARDWARE_ERROR for every subsequent read near that LBA, even
sectors that aren't physically damaged. Per project docs 'Bad-sector
handling' rule #2, 'Recovery requires eject+reload OR significant
cool-down.' Aborting on first wedge throws away the rest of the
disc; the right response is to SKIP the wedged region (mark as
NonTrimmed for Pass N), pause for drive cooldown, and continue.
Fix: in handle_read_error, the HARDWARE_ERROR / ILLEGAL_REQUEST arm
now branches on bisect_on_marginal:
Pass 1 (bisect_on_marginal=false): JumpAhead with WEDGE_JUMP_SECTORS
(1 GB at 2048 bytes/sector) and WEDGE_PAUSE_SECS (30 s cooldown).
Tracks wedge_count in ReadCtx; resets on any successful read.
Truly aborts only after WEDGE_ABORT_THRESHOLD (16) consecutive
wedges with no good read in between — generous enough to clear
most physical-damage clusters, bounded enough to not loop forever
on a permanently bricked drive.
Pass N (bisect_on_marginal=true): unchanged AbortPass. Pass N's
job is single-sector recovery; if the drive won't talk near a
specific LBA, skipping doesn't help. Pass N exits and lets the
outer layer decide retry/eject/surface.
5 unit tests cover the new policy:
pass_1_hardware_error_jumps_ahead_not_aborts — JumpAhead emitted
with correct sectors+pause, wedge_count incremented.
pass_1_hardware_error_aborts_after_threshold — AbortPass kicks in
on the WEDGE_ABORT_THRESHOLD-th consecutive wedge.
pass_1_good_read_resets_wedge_count — on_success clears
wedge_count; subsequent wedge gets fresh skip budget.
pass_n_hardware_error_still_aborts — Pass N's AbortPass behavior
intact.
pass_1_illegal_request_also_routes_to_wedge_skip — both wedge
sense families get the skip treatment.
Impact: on the Dune Pt 2 disc that consistently wedged at 48%
(physical damage at LBA ~19.9M), Pass 1 will now jump ahead 1 GB
on the wedge, give the drive 30 s cooldown, and continue scanning
the rest of the disc. The damaged region becomes Pass N's job to
revisit. Worst case if the drive stays wedged: 16 GB of NonTrimmed
disc area before honest AbortPass.
Precommit (cargo +1.86 fmt + clippy + test) green; 430 passing.
Pass 1 sweep was grinding through damage zones because the marginal-
media handler returned `Bisect` for every failed 32-sector batch —
forcing 32 single-sector reads per bad block at ~5s each on a real
BU40N-vs-Dune-Pt-2 trace. AND the JumpAhead trigger required a 16-
block damage window to fill before firing, so entry into a
contiguous damage zone took ~40 minutes of grinding before the
first jump fired. Architecturally wrong: Pass 1's job is "fast and
accurate, get the most data in the shortest time." Bisection +
recovery is Pass N's purpose-built role.
ReadCtx now carries two new fields:
- `consecutive_outer_failures: u64` — outer-batch failures since
last outer success. Bisect inner failures don't count.
- `bisect_on_marginal: bool` — whether to return Bisect on a
marginal-media batch failure.
- `fast_jump_threshold: u64` — outer-failures count that triggers
JumpAhead before the damage window has filled.
`for_sweep` (Pass 1) sets `bisect_on_marginal=false`,
`fast_jump_threshold=4`, and zeroes the post-failure pause. Failed
batches become SkipBlock → whole block NonTrimmed → advance, no
sleep. After 4 consecutive outer failures: JumpAhead with the
existing escalating multiplier.
`for_patch` (Pass N) sets `bisect_on_marginal=true`,
`fast_jump_threshold=u64::MAX`, keeps the original cooldown pauses.
Pass N's whole reason to exist is to grind on bad ranges with
proper recovery semantics — single-sector reads, 60s recovery
timeout, retry budget, escalating skip — and that's unchanged.
`on_success` resets `consecutive_outer_failures` only when not
bisecting, so a good single-sector read inside Pass N's bisect
doesn't pretend we've escaped the damaged batch.
Tests:
- `pass_n_marginal_with_batch_gt_1_bisects` — Pass N still bisects.
- `pass_1_marginal_skips_instead_of_bisecting` — Pass 1 doesn't.
- `pass_1_jumps_after_4_consecutive_outer_failures` — fast-entry.
- `pass_n_does_not_fast_jump` — fast-entry is Pass-1-only.
- `outer_success_resets_consecutive_outer_failures` — counter reset.
- `bisect_inner_success_does_not_reset_outer_counter` — semantics.
- `pass_1_does_not_pause_on_skip` — explicit zero-pause contract.
- `long_failure_streak_extends_pause_on_pass_n` — Pass N still
extends pauses on long failure streaks (renamed from the old
sweep-based test).
Integration test `test_disc_copy_marks_failed_ecc_blocks_as_nontrimmed`
updated: it used to assert Pass 1 recovers all sectors via bisect
(bytes_good=total). New contract: Pass 1 marks NonTrimmed; Pass N
recovers. Test now asserts Pass-1-only outcome (bytes_pending=total,
complete=false) consistent with the redesign.
Real-world impact on the user's BU40N + Dune Pt 2 trace from this
session: a damage zone that was on track to take ~40 minutes of
Pass-1 grinding will now jump in ~20 seconds. Pass N still has the
full 7-pass recovery budget to revisit those NonTrimmed ranges.
The 0.18.4 commit landed with rustfmt diffs in the new
canonical_order tests because my local validation script piped
'cargo fmt --check' to 'tail -1', masking the diff output and
reporting green when fmt was actually unhappy. CI's lint job
caught it immediately. No code change — pure formatting.
Disc::titles previously sorted purely by duration_secs descending,
which puts a play-all virtual playlist at index 0 on UHDs that ship
one. Such playlists reference the same source clips multiple times
for seamless alternate-angle / alternate-ending playback and report
inflated duration AND inflated size_bytes that exceeds the disc's
physical capacity.
Concrete observed case (The Amateur 2025 4K UHD, 58.5 GB BD-100):
Title 1 — 00020.mpls — 4h13m — 92.4 GB — 253 clips ← impossible
Title 2 — 00800.mpls — 2h02m — 57.2 GB — 1 clip ← the movie
92.4 GB > 58.5 GB capacity is proof of clip double-counting. With
the duration-only sort, freemkv -t 1 / disc.titles.first() / autorip's
main-feature picker all selected the 4-hour composite instead of the
2-hour movie.
New canonical_title_order:
1. Real titles (size_bytes <= capacity_bytes) before virtual
composites — capacity gate is hard physical truth.
2. Among real titles, fewer clips first (1-clip wins as the
canonical main feature; multi-clip is either chapter-stitched
or composite).
3. Tiebreak on longer duration first.
Behaviour:
- Non-branching discs: unchanged. The longest 1-clip title is
already the movie.
- Branching UHDs: virtual composite drops to the back, the real
movie surfaces at index 0.
Comparator exposed as Disc::canonical_title_order for downstream
consumers that need the same logic on custom title sets.
Three regression tests (disc::tests::canonical_order_*):
- pushes_oversize_play_all_behind_real_main (The Amateur)
- preserves_natural_ranking_on_normal_disc
- fewer_clips_wins_tiebreak
decrypt::decrypt_sectors now restores chunks when decrypt_unit_full's
TS-sync verification fails, preventing 0.18.1's silent corruption of
MPLS/CLPI navigation files when DecryptingSectorSource decorates the
sweep reader. Fixes E6009 NoStreams on info iso:// for AACS-encrypted
UHDs ripped without --raw.
Disc::sweep progress takes max(snapshot.bytes_good, bytes_done) so
the user-visible counter never regresses below what the producer has
already sent.
Round 3 step 1: lift the visibility on the two flat rip-phase verbs
so consumers (autorip + freemkv CLI) can call them directly instead
of going through Disc::copy's multipass dispatcher. Also lift their
option/outcome types and re-export at crate root.
- fn sweep -> pub fn sweep (with rustdoc explaining its role)
- fn patch -> pub fn patch (ditto)
- pub(crate) struct SweepOptions -> pub struct SweepOptions
- pub(crate) struct PatchOpts -> pub struct PatchOptions (renamed
for consistency — both are 'Options')
- pub(crate) struct PatchOutcome -> pub struct PatchOutcome
- libfreemkv::{SweepOptions, PatchOptions, PatchOutcome} re-exports
at crate root.
Disc::copy still exists and still calls Disc::sweep / Disc::patch
through the now-private sweep_internal / patch_internal wrappers.
Migration of the two autorip callers + the freemkv CLI's
disc_to_iso to direct sweep/patch is a follow-up; once those land
Disc::copy + CopyOptions + CopyResult delete in the same commit.

existing call sites — sweep producer and DiscStream demux
Round 1 shipped the DecryptingSectorSource decorator
(libfreemkv/src/sector/decrypting.rs) but the existing decrypt
sites kept calling crate::decrypt::decrypt_sectors inline. This
commit migrates both:
- Disc::sweep (disc/mod.rs): producer wraps the input reader
in DecryptingSectorSource::new(reader, keys) before the read loop.
The inline decrypt_sectors call goes away — read_sectors yields
plaintext directly.
- DiscStream (mux/disc.rs): constructor wraps the underlying
Box<dyn SectorReader> in DecryptingSectorSource so the internal
fill_extents / read path sees plaintext bytes. The DecryptKeys
field stays on DiscStream for metadata-side use; it just no
longer drives decryption.
Disc::patch carried the same inline decrypt step at three call
sites (main read, backtrack read, non-NOT_READY retry read). All
three migrated onto the same wrapping for a single audit surface.
Two small support changes carry the migration without touching
the round-1 decorator shape:
- sector/mod.rs gains specific SectorSource impls for
&mut dyn SectorReader and Box<dyn SectorReader>, mirroring
std's Read forwarding pattern. Generic blankets would conflict
with the existing SectorReader → SectorSource blanket under the
orphan rule (downstream could impl SectorReader for &mut U), so
the impls are scoped to the dyn-trait shape we actually consume.
- sector/decrypting.rs gains DecryptingSectorSource::set_keys so
DiscStream::set_raw() can flip the wrapped reader to a
DecryptKeys::None pass-through without rebuilding the decorator
(which would require moving the inner Box out from behind &mut self).
After this commit, grep `decrypt_sectors` in src/ shows the
function definition, its single use inside DecryptingSectorSource,
plus comments only. One audit surface for AACS / CSS / passthrough
correctness.
Behaviour-preserving: same plaintext bytes flow through; the only
difference is which type owns the decrypt step.

Auto-fmt nit on the multi-line map.flush() expression that landed
when the sweep + patch + DiscStream-FrameSource branches were merged
together. No semantic change.
Sweep was the original producer/consumer split that motivated the
generic Pipeline primitive (round 1, commit 198268b). Now that
Pipeline + Sink exist, sweep stops shipping its own bespoke
threading.
- New SweepSink: Sink<WorkItem> impl in src/disc/sweep.rs. Owns
WritebackFile + Mapfile + ProgressSnapshot back-channel. apply()
carries the file-write + mapfile.record per WorkItem; close()
drains writeback, fsyncs, flushes mapfile.
- Disc::sweep: constructs SweepSink, calls Pipeline::spawn_named
(so the consumer thread keeps showing up as
freemkv-sweep-consumer), sends WorkItems, calls pipe.finish().
The producer-side ReadCtx state machine, decrypt, set_speed,
halt — all unchanged.
- Pipeline gains spawn_named(name, depth, sink) so callers can
preserve identifiable thread names without the primitive baking
one in. Also adds Pipeline::try_send for the throttled
StatsRequest path that must not block the producer.
- Deleted src/disc/sweep_pipeline.rs entirely. WorkItem,
ProgressSnapshot, ConsumerSummary moved into disc/sweep.rs as
module-private types. WorkItem::Finish dropped — dropping the
channel is the end-of-stream signal Pipeline already uses.
Behaviour-preserving: the sweep algorithm, mapfile invariants,
back-pressure via channel depth (DEFAULT_PIPELINE_DEPTH = 4) all
match the 0.17.13 implementation. New synthetic regression test
(sweep_pipeline_full_good_100_batches) exercises ~100 batches of
clean reads end-to-end through the new Pipeline path and verifies
bytes_good and ISO file size.
See (internal)/memory/0_18_redesign.md.
Patch was strictly serial (per-sector recovery: read → seek+write
→ mapfile.record → next). Lifting the write+record onto a consumer
thread lets the drive issue the next per-sector retry while the
previous block's recovered bytes are being committed — small but
real win on damaged discs with many bad sectors, and uniform with
sweep's threading model.
- New PatchSink: Sink<PatchItem> impl in src/disc/patch.rs. Owns
WritebackFile + Mapfile. apply() seeks+writes recovered bytes
and records mapfile state per item; close() runs sync_all and
mapfile.flush.
- Channel depth: WRITE_THROUGH_DEPTH (1). Patch wants minimum
buffering — back-pressure should kick in immediately so the
drive's per-sector retry budget isn't ahead of the writer.
- Disc::patch: keeps every existing recovery decision on the
producer (reverse walk, damage-window skip, NOT_READY pauses,
bridge-degradation handling, wedge exit, range watchdog).
WritebackFile ownership moves to the sink.
Behaviour-preserving: per-sector single-shot read budget unchanged
(BU40N+Initio bridge wedge concern still respected); recovery
algorithm bit-identical.

Two clippy issues surfaced when round 1 polish + round 2 FrameSink
migrations both landed on libfreemkv main:
- src/halt.rs: clippy::new_without_default fires when a public new()
exists without Default. The polish pass dropped the derive thinking
it was redundant — clippy disagrees, so add a manual impl that
forwards to new(). Doc-comment notes why both exist.
- src/disc/read_error.rs:372: pre-existing
assert_eq!(.., true) trips clippy::bool_assert_comparison. Pre-0.18
precommits passed because that lint sat outside the gate; the
round-2 commits brought enough new clippy surface that it now
shows up. Trivial cleanup: assert!(...) instead of assert_eq!.

The type's job is the bounded-cache writeback pipeline (sync_file_range
+ posix_fadvise(DONTNEED)) — not generic writing. The 0.17 name was
ambiguous; reading `Writer::new(file)` gave no hint about what was
special. New name makes the role obvious at every call site.
Adds `WritebackFile::create(path)` and `WritebackFile::open(path)`
constructors so callers don't have to assemble a `File` first.
No alias kept; this is a clean 0.18 rename. See
(internal)/memory/0_18_redesign.md.
Single contributor: MattJackson.
The bounded-cache writeback wrapper (crate::io::Writer) was added in
0.17.10 and wired into Disc::sweep in 0.17.11, but the other two
paths in the crate that write large amounts of data sequentially —
Disc::patch and the MKV/M2TS mux — were still operating on raw
std::fs::File. That meant the dirty-page burst pathology the wrapper
exists to prevent could still bite on slow / network-attached staging
during recovery and mux phases.
This release plugs those gaps:
- Disc::patch (disc/mod.rs:1981) now wraps the reopened ISO in
Writer before any seek / write. sync_all on Writer cleanly drains
the in-flight chunk before the existing fsync.
- mux/resolve.rs MKV and M2TS branches wrap the output File in
Writer underneath BufWriter. UHD MKV mux routinely produces 70+ GB
of sequential output; the page cache no longer absorbs that as a
single hot blast on slow targets.
Mapfile, log, settings, history, and stream-pipeline byte buffers
remain unchanged: those are either small one-shot writes (where
the wrapper has zero benefit and adds a stream_position syscall) or
already use bounded persistence (mapfile time-batched in 0.17.12).
The principle: any path that writes substantial sequential data to
a single file uses Writer; trivial writes don't.
Pre-0.17.12 every Mapfile::record() persisted the full mapfile via
tempfile-create + write + atomic-rename. On local LVM that's
microseconds; on NFS each rename is multiple RPCs through the
unraid user-share fuse layer, dragging a Black Mass UHD rip from
~11 MB/s on local to ~1.5 MB/s on NFS — the mapfile path alone burned
multiple seconds of wall time per real-world second of work.
Mapfile now batches the rename to once per second:
- record() always updates in-memory state and stats; only fires
write_to_disk when last_flushed.elapsed() >= FLUSH_INTERVAL (1 s).
- New flush() API forces a persist; called by sweep_pipeline's
consumer at end-of-sweep and by Disc::patch at end-of-patch,
after the file's sync_all.
- Drop impl best-effort flushes so an early-return / unwind doesn't
silently lose pending state.
Crash-safety changes from "lose at most one block" to "lose at most
1 s of recorded progress" — the ISO file's payload bytes are unaffected;
only the mapfile's authority over which sectors are already-good is at
risk, and a resume re-reads anything Pass 1 had already covered.
Measured on the BU40N test bed against Black Mass UHD inner zone:
- NFS staging: 1.5 MB/s → 16.48 MB/s (10.9× recovery)
- Local LVM staging: 11.09 MB/s → 11.83 MB/s (+6.7 % bonus)
Internal round_trip_load test now flushes before reading back from
disk. External patch / copy tests are unaffected: patch and
sweep_pipeline flush at completion before returning.
Pre-0.17.11 sweep ran strictly serialised: SCSI read → decrypt → seek
+ write → mapfile.record → next read. Drive idled for the post-read
work; throughput capped at the sum of both costs. On a healthy disc
that's ~7-12 ms read + ~5-15 ms write/record per 64 KB batch, limiting
sustained throughput to ~10-12 MB/s on the test bed (BU40N + UHD inner
zone), well below the ~14-16 MB/s drive ceiling.
Decouples them: producer thread (caller's) owns SectorReader +
read_error state + decrypt + set_speed + halt; consumer thread (one
spawn) owns Writer + Mapfile, receives WorkItem messages, applies
file write + mapfile record. Bounded mpsc::sync_channel(4) gives
natural back-pressure. While the consumer writes batch N, the
producer is already reading batch N+1 — steady-state throughput is
now bound by the slower of the two pipelines (drive on healthy
discs), not their sum.
Side effects:
- Bisect path now decrypts. Pre-0.17.11 the bisect inner loop wrote
raw cyphertext for single-sector recoveries on encrypted discs —
quiet correctness bug exercised only by batch-fail-then-
bisect-succeed on encrypted media. New producer-side decrypt
covers main + bisect success paths uniformly.
- All read_ctx state stays single-threaded on producer (damage
window, jump multiplier, etc.). No locking added.
- Mapfile remains single-writer on consumer. No locking.
- Halt latency: producer breaks loop, sends Finish, consumer drains
≤4 in-flight items + sync_all. ~1 batch (~12 ms) typical.
- BU40N + Initio bridge wedge concern unchanged: still single SCSI
command in flight, error-path timing identical, no new retries.
New module: src/disc/sweep_pipeline.rs (WorkItem, ProgressSnapshot,
ConsumerInputs, spawn_consumer, consumer_loop, helpers). Public API
unchanged — Disc::copy / CopyOptions / CopyResult identical.
Patch (Pass N) is NOT changed; it's bound by drive recovery time, not
the read/write serialisation.
Pass 1 sweep speed on a healthy disc previously dipped from ~15 MB/s
to ~1 MB/s every ~30 s on a host with default Linux dirty-page
settings. Empirical cause: the kernel's vm.dirty_ratio (~20% of RAM)
lets hundreds of MB of dirty pages accumulate, then bursts a flush at
99% disk utilisation that blocks app writes for ~1 s. Confirmed on
the BU40N test bed — dirty pages grew 112 → 563 MB between bursts;
lowering vm.dirty_bytes to 64 MB at the host sysctl level eliminated
the dips. Shipping the equivalent inside libfreemkv so users do not
need to tune the host kernel.
- New crate::io::Writer: drop-in File wrapper (impl Write + Seek).
Wraps a per-platform WritebackPipeline that on Linux schedules
sync_file_range(WRITE) + lagging sync_file_range(WAIT_AFTER) +
posix_fadvise(DONTNEED) in 32 MB chunks, bounding dirty cache at
~64 MB. macOS and Windows ship a no-op stub.
- Disc::sweep wraps its output File in Writer. Loop body unchanged.
- Module is purpose-built so any large sequential output (patch,
mux) can adopt the same wrapper as a one-line change later.
Direct-SATA BU40N + Dune Part Two UHD live testing exposed that the
v0.17.3 single-shot SCSI READ path matched 0/22 of the small bad-
sector LBAs that dd if=/dev/sr0 recovers on the same drive. This
release closes that gap and fixes adjacent bugs silently capping
recovery.
- /dev/sr0 pread fallback in Drive::read (Linux only): on SCSI READ
Err, fall back to posix_fadvise(DONTNEED) + pread() against the
corresponding block device. Kernel sr_mod runs ~5 internal retries
with no per-attempt mid-layer escalation overhead — the mechanism
behind dd's recovery advantage. End-to-end byte verification
confirms the fallback path returns real disc data.
- Disc::patch per-range watchdog fix: MAX_RANGE_SECS was breaking
'outer (one slow range killed the entire patch). Now skips to the
next range. Pre-fix patch died after 4 sectors of range 1 of 47.
- Per-sector range budget: range_budget = sectors × 25 s, capped at
1800 s. Replaces the flat 180 s/range that was unfair to medium
ranges and pointlessly generous to single-sector ones.
- consecutive_failures resets per range. The wedge-exit detector is
for stuck-on-one-range, not many-small-ranges-with-one-fail-each.
- Reverted inline 5× retry experiment (was hurting: each retry paid
kernel SCSI escalation overhead). Restored READ_RECOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS
to 60 s. The kernel-auto-retry pattern is now provided by sr0
fallback.
Empirical: pass 1 recovered 94.6 MB / 11 s of main title (33 sr0
saves). Pass 2 added 0.6 MB. Remaining ~233 MB on the test disc
appears physically unrecoverable on this hardware.
src/disc/mod.rs:
- Cache priming (3-sector lookback) before patch's single-sector reads.
Drive read-ahead pulls in adjacent pages so the target may already be
cached when we ask for it. Throwaway reads — failures here don't
update mapfile state.
- When patch hits skip-limit on a range, leave remaining sectors
NonTrimmed instead of marking Unreadable. We never tried to read those
sectors, so don't give them terminal status — drive state evolves
between passes (cache, mechanical settle), and a later pass may
succeed.
tests/pass_n_patch_fix.rs:
- New regression test for the decrypt key inversion bug at
src/disc/mod.rs:1938-1942. Asserts decrypt_sectors is invoked with
the correct key when opts.decrypt=true.
tests/pass_n_size_aware_skip.rs:
- rustfmt-only changes.
Cargo.toml: 0.17.0 -> 0.17.1.
New disc/read_error.rs as the single entry point all read failures flow
through. Handler classifies the error, updates the in-flight context
(damage window, retry budgets, jump multiplier), and returns a
ReadAction the caller dispatches on. Pass 1 (sweep) refactored to use
it; ~340 lines of nested if/else collapsed into ~120 lines of action
dispatch. Adding a new error class = one match arm. Logging is in one
place. Bisect inner failures don't poison the damage window. Jump
multiplier capped at 64 (max 1 GB jump for batch=32 — observed prior
unbounded behavior produce a single 56 GB jump on a wedged drive).
Pass N (patch) damage_skip is now size-aware: each skip is capped at
range_remaining/4 rather than the absolute MB-scale escalation. The
old logic could leap over a 100-sector bad range that hides a 50-sector
good middle; size-aware convergence finds the good middles instead.
Tests in tests/pass_n_size_aware_skip.rs exercise the size-aware skip
against synthetic patterns (25-bad/50-good/25-bad and three good
middles in a row) and prove ≥98% of good middles are recovered.
Existing test test_disc_copy_marks_failed_ecc_blocks_as_nontrimmed
updated to reflect that MEDIUM_ERROR now triggers single-sector
bisect (which the BlockSizeFailingReader succeeds at).
- Fix unwrap in disc/mod.rs sweep() hot path using pattern matching
- Patch pass excludes Unreadable sectors from work list
- Expose bytes_bad_in_title for accurate UI reporting
- All 256 tests pass, cargo clippy clean with -D warnings
- DAMAGE_WINDOW 50→16, DAMAGE_THRESHOLD_PCT 25→12: triggers on 2nd scattered failure
- Previous 50/25% was too diluted by good reads between sparse failures
- copy() dispatch checks mapfile total_size == disc capacity_bytes (covers_disc)
- NonTried regions → sweep with resume=true (preserves mapfile)
- Only NonTrimmed/NonScraped/Unreadable → patch
- sweep_internal takes resume param: true when dispatching from existing mapfile
- Verified: Pass 1 from 30-100% completes in ~20 min with correct jumps through 3 damage zones
- CopyOptions: replace resume/skip_on_error/batch_sectors with single multipass bool
- Disc::copy() auto-detects pass from mapfile state: no mapfile or NonTried → sweep, only NonTrimmed/Unreadable → patch
- Fix bug where mapfile with NonTried regions incorrectly dispatched to patch mode
- SectorReader::set_speed() default method, Drive impl sends SET CD SPEED
- On damage zone entry: set_speed(0x0000) for better error recovery
- On damage zone exit (50 consecutive good): set_speed(0xFFFF) to restore max speed
- Disc::mapfile_for() returns /tmp/<name>.mapfile for null:// output
- patch_internal/sweep_internal as private helpers, CopyResult gains recovered_this_pass
- Adaptive probe algorithm in Disc::copy skip_on_error mode: after 4
consecutive errors, probe 1 sector at 256x batch (8 MB) ahead. If
good, zero-fill gap, mark NonTrimmed, jump. Clears bad zones in
seconds instead of hours.
- NOT_READY sense key (0x02) now retries up to 3x with 3s pause before
marking NonTrimmed. BU40N returns NOT READY for bad sectors, not
MEDIUM ERROR.
- PassProgress struct gains bytes_bad_total field for consumer-side
bad/retryable byte counts.
- Mapfile header version string fix: no longer duplicates 'libfreemkv v'
prefix on each write.
- Structured sense_key/asc/ascq logging in copy error path.
macOS SCSI transport rewritten from hybrid MMC+pread to single-path
raw CDB dispatch through SCSITaskDeviceInterface. All CDBs (INQUIRY,
READ, REPORT KEY, etc.) now go through ExecuteTaskSync — 1:1 with
the Linux SG_IO backend.
Key changes:
- New macos_shim.c: diskutil unmount → find IOBDServices →
ObtainExclusiveAccess → raw CDB dispatch. Eliminates Rust-side
IOKit COM vtable complexity.
- build.rs compiles macos_shim.c via cc into static lib
- macos.rs simplified to three FFI calls (open/close/execute)
- disc/mod.rs: graduated batch restore after errors, skip-ahead
through bad zones, configurable error pause
