Problems excluding data tracks

Question: Reading and writing is fine with data tracks, even with disconnect, but I get problems with other track types. Why?

Answer: Some SCSI host adapters increase their performance if you e. g. make assumptions about the block size, e. g. that the block size is a power of 2 or a multiple of x bytes (x = 32, 64, ...). These assumptions are incorrect for unusual block sizes such as 2352 bytes (audio tracks) and the will cause the host adapter to fail.
