[ardour-users] disk stream errors

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I'm attempting to look at how far I can push Ardour in terms of
track count. Here's what I did:

1) I set up a new session on my 1394 audio drive. To this session I
added 5 stereo tracks. I record enabled them and recorded for 90
seconds. Everything goes fine.

2) I then add 10 more stereo tracks for a total of 15 stereo tracks. I
record enabled all 10 tracks and recorded for 90 seconds. Everything
goes fine again.

3) I then add 10 more tracks for a total of 25 stereo tracks, I record
enabled all 10 of them and being recording. About 15 seconds into the
recording I get the following errors:

[ERROR]: Audio 24: disk stream error at frame 1900800 (-1)
[ERROR]: Session: error for Audio 24 at frame 1900800 (-1)
[ERROR]: Audio 24: disk stream error at frame 1900800 (-1)
[ERROR]: Session: error for Audio 24 at frame 1900800 (-1)
[ERROR]: Audio 25: disk stream error at frame 1900800 (-1)
[ERROR]: Session: error for Audio 25 at frame 1900800 (-1)

The transport keeps rolling, but Ardour stops drawing peaks.

Any ideas?
