Folks,
What is the scene regarding writing CDs with cdrecord under kernel 2.6?
Ide-scsi doesn't seem to be needed anymore. So, what options work best,
etc.? What is the experience of you all here? I shall be grateful for
any information.
I use driveropts=burnfree option in my /etc/cdrecord.conf file, to
enable burnfree option. You can give it in command line also. Along
with it I use speed=16 to write at 16X speed.
I use the following cdrecord command for writing CDs mostly (not for
bootable CDs) for the first session:
# cdrecord speed=16 driveropts=burnfree -v -multi image.iso
man page will give a lots of options. Lastly the CD writing is depends
on the image behavior. During image creation (using mkisofs) you can
use a lots of options with which you can create magic only for those
who dont know the power of Linux ;-) .
for writing second and further next session you have to change the
options in mkisofs command. and in cdrecord you just write the
second/other options using the command above.
bye for now

It is much better, especially for ATAPI writers. On a LG 52X, I can write at
45X + depending on whether it is a diskcopy or an iso image...or just files.
On samsung 24X, which is not ATAPI I get the full speed depending on the type
of writing. I use Xcdroast or K3B or # usually.

Thanks to both of you for your replies.
I've rather limited experience with CD writing, and all of it has been
with cdrecord. I followed the CD-writing HOWTO with kernel v2.4 and it
was alright, multi-session CDs and everything. Now I shall try with
kernel v2.6.11, still keeping to cdrecord. Reading all the responses I
get the feeling that only the dev= and driveropts= need to be changed.
(GUI usually dosn't suit me, so I haven't tried any of the gui-based ones.)
Prosun, why do you limit yourself to 16X? With CD-Rs I've been able to
write at higher speeds. CD-RWs are different though.
By the way, Prosun, what "magic" are you talking about there? I'm
extremely curious. Won't you elaborate just a little?
