Sorry for the delay. I reverted my change, added this one. I didn't
reboot, I just unloaded and loaded this one.
Note: /dev/sr1 as seen from the initiator is /dev/sr0 (physical disc) on the
target.

Doesn't crash, however on the initiator I see this:

To cause this, I mounted the dvd as seen in the first line and ran this
command: find /cdrom2 -type f | xargs -tn1 cat > /dev/null
I did some various tests. Each test was done after umount and mount to
clear the cache.
cat <file> > /dev/null causes the message.
dd if=<file> of=/dev/null bs=2048 doesn't
using bs=4096 doesn't
using bs=64k doesn't
using bs=128k does
cat uses a blocksize of 128k.

The following was done without being mounted.
ddrescue -f -f /dev/sr1 /dev/null
doesn't cause the message
dd if=/dev/sr1 of=/dev/null bs=128k
doesn't cause the message
using bs=256k causes the message once:

If I access the disc from the target natively either by mounting and
accessing files or working with the device directly (ie dd) no errors are
logged on the target.
