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.
Apropos of my earlier question and the answers I received in response, I
am trying, in a shell script, to identify which IDE device my CDwriter
is. At the moment the best I can think of is something like:
dmesg | grep ATAPI | grep "ROM" | cut -d: -f1
On my system this works because I have only one CD device. However,
other systems may have more. Is there a way to identify with certainty
which is the CD writer?
I have a shell script that lets me drive cdrecord, with its myriad
options, as I need to. So far it assumed ide-scsi but now I want to
generalise it so that it behaves according to the version of the kernel
the machine is running. I am identifying the kernel version through:
cut -d' ' -f3 < /proc/version | cut -d'.' -f1,2
I shall be grateful for any responses.
