"cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI" gives me the following... scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'HITACHI ' 'DVD-ROM GD-5000 ' '0110' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'SONY ' 'CD-RW CRX100E ' '1.0m' Removable CD-ROM 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) *
I copy/move a bunch of files into directory "xfer", and burn an ISO with the following script... #!/bin/sh mkisofs -R -J xfer | cdrecord -tao -v fs=8m -data dev=ATAPI:0,1,0 - Piping direct from mkisofs avoids creating, and then deleting, a physical ISO file. It does give a warning message because, with input from stdin, cdrecord has no way of telling in advance whether it'll fit onto the CD. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
