Hi,
I'd like to use cdrecord on the command line. I'm currently reading the relevant chapter in Carla Schroder's "Linux Cookbook". Unfortunately, some of the tricks and hints included in the book don't seem to work the same way on a standard CentOS 5 install.
- Am I supposed to be root to use cdrecord and burn an .iso file?
I've found it works much better if you are root.
- How do I specify a device? 'cdrecord -scanbus' doesn't seem to work.
Say my CD burner is /dev/hdc, would 'cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc' be the correct way to address it?
cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdc -speed=24 -dao -pad file.iso
(of course your options may vary)
Note for SATA burners, /dev/scd0
SATA devices should up as SCSI devices, so I would suspect that SCSI bus device specs would work also.
is probably what you want. For PATA/ATAPI (what it sounds like you have) then /dev/hdc probably is best - I haven't burned an old ATA burner in a long time. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
