How do you scan the bus with cdrecord in MD10.0 CE ?

Now before you tell me to "man cdrecord", let me say it says use cdrecord -scanbus
I think someone has hacked this edition about some.
Another related problem is, you cannot open xcdroast without media in both your writer and dvd drives because of a silly warning message about putting media in first, a totally inept message, especially for those using xcdroast master tracks to write from HD. Hmmm. I bet xcdroast author, Thomas Neiderreiter had nothing to do with it.

Here's what Tom Brinkman wrote about this some time ago. <quote> Not only that, there's quite a difference burning CD under 2.6.x kernels. ide-scsi is no longer used for IDE CD drives, no /dev/scd*'s are used either. Not even created by devfs. This seems to be causing a lot of confusion for GUI users. Even on the CL changes have to be adopted. For example my aliases to burn data, audio, and iso's now look like this
alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=24 dev=ATA:3,1,0 -data'
alias bacd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=24 dev=ATA:3,1,0 -pad -audio *.wav'
alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 dev=ATA:3,1,0 -dao'
dev= is obtained by running 'cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus'
</quote>
That was valid then. Some updates to 10.1 put me (involuntarily) back to usin ide-scsi and /dev/scd*'s, and modified modprobe.conf and modprobe.preload to once again use to scsi host adaptor rather than ATA. I had to edit fstab to reflect this. Back'nforth, back'nforth ;) EG,
alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=32 dev=1,0,0 -data'
tom $ ll /dev/scd*
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31 May 1 19:12 /dev/scd0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31 May 1 19:12 /dev/scd1 -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
tom $ ll /dev/hdh ls: /dev/hdh: No such file or directory (hdh was previously my burner, now it's scd1 ...again ;)
It's gotten to be so much like musical chairs, I just quit commenting on cdrecord. It's fairly easy for me to deal with, but for newbies, specially tryin to use burning GUI's it's gotta be a mess.
In fairness, I believe Mandrake is moving back to ide-scsi and /dev/scd* to clear up problems with cdrecord and various GUI's for it. Also for DVD burning.
In a way it's a pitty because , well if it can be made to work I suppose the ATA route is to be prefered. But at least scsi-em works. Well it did the last time I used it.
