More probably it's related to level background scan. Can you
please try to set background scan to ID2 only and see if this
improves the situation?

Well, this is a bit hackish in my opinion.
Are you refering to the fact that cdfs sometimes calculates a bad
diskid?
I have created a patch for this some time ago. It works for all
CDs reachable here, but this aren't too much. So don't blame me
if it fails...

The patch should apply to 0.5c, but newer 2.4.20 version as well.
