Hi, regrettably cdrecord-2.01.01a21 seems to be unusable on my Linux 2.4 system which has 2 burners under ide-scsi and 1 DVD-ROM not under ide-scsi.
I downloaded ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/cdrtools-2.01.01a21.tar.gz made my usual "#define HZ 100" in libscg/scsi-linux-sg.c, compiled, and ran $ cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01.01a21 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2006 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: Read-only file system. Cannot open '/dev/hdg'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. "Read-only" obviously doesn't mean file access permissions: brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 34, 0 Sep 23 2003 /dev/hdg It seems to be a true regression in relation to my system: $ /usr/bin/cdrecord-2.01.01a12-hz100 -scanbus Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01.01a12 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2006 Jörg Schilling Linux sg driver version: 3.1.25 Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'. scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) '_NEC ' 'DVD_RW ND-4570A ' '1.02' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GSA-4082B' 'A201' Removable CD-ROM With the newest version it is not even possible to address a single known drive: $ cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -atip Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01.01a21 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2006 Jörg Schilling ... same complaint about /dev/hdg and refusal to work ... The situation on my system is as follows: Linux 2.4.21 ( SuSE 9.0) /dev/hdc -> /dev/sg0 , /dev/sr0, dev=0,0,0 /dev/hde -> /dev/sg1 , /dev/sr1, dev=0,1,0 /dev/hdg is a DVD-ROM without ide-scsi emulation (libburn encounters this /dev/hdg too. It gets ignored because open(2) returns error 30 "Read-only file system".) Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
