Hello, Everytime I use cdrecord under Linux 2.6 kernel and reference the drive by the /dev/devid it responds with the following:
Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J�rg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '/dev/sr0' devname: '/dev/sr0' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported. Linux sg driver version: 3.5.27 Under 2.4 series using the generic scsi device name I could use -scanbus to report the devices. But now it only reports errors with no usable information reported. In the above output, the scsibus:-2, etc. always remains the same regardless of what device I use. If I use: "cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus" then it reports only the two drives I have connected through firewire on scsibus0 and scsibus1. It doesn't report my PATA drive at all. On my notebook the internal DVD drive is a PATA drive also and it doesn't report it either. So then, what is the proper way to discover/designate the drives under the 2.6 kernel without using the generic scsi interface? Sorry that I am so dense that I am unable understand the man page.
