Hi, me: > > We don't [know the trick] - yet. Joerg Schilling: > ??? Who is 'we'?
The users, the Linux people, me, and who else tried to find out what's wrong with those systems. Joerg Schilling: > in general, you need root privileges on Linux. But for what ? Make me smarter. I do not know a single incident where root privileges made the difference between working and not working if access permissions to /dev/sgN resp. /dev/srM were granted. If you need to get outmost process priority - ok, then you need to be superuser. I don't think this belongs _inside_ the burn program. Whatever: The problem in this thread has multiply been verified to appear for the superuser as well. It is either a bug in Linux or a peculiarity of the drive-controller combination which we do not know yet but which is known to Microsoft or Nero AG. In any case we should try to help exploring. Known facts: It only happens with newer Linux and SATA drives. Many newer Linuxes with SATA drives work without problems. There seem to be SATA controller hardware issues involved. > The OP did not send any cdrecord SCSI trace. The state of the exploration is that sending any mode pages 05h fails. Just believe me, for once. I still hope to find somebody who is willing to pick up the thread so we can continue trying to find the reason. (We = experimenter + me + evtl. helpers) Have a nice day :) Thomas -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
