about device on burning CD

**satimis** · 02-26-2006, 01:19 PM

Hi folks,

On running;
# cdrecord -scanbus

Code:

.....
scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) 'AVIXE   ' 'PDU01_512 61G2.0' '0.00' Removable Disk
        0,1,0     1) *
        0,2,0     2) *
        0,3,0     3) *
        0,4,0     4) *
        0,5,0     5) *
        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *

AVIXE was USB pen stick (flash drive)

I tried
# cdrecord dev=0,0,0 blank=all -v -eject
# cdrecord dev=0,1,0 blank=all -v -eject
# cdrecord dev=0,2,0 blank=all -v -eject
# cdrecord dev=ATA:0,1,0 blank=all -v -eject
# cdrecord dev=ATA:0,2,0 blank=all -v -eject
etc.

All failed. Finally I was compelled to run "k3b"

Please advice the correct device. TIA

use /dev/hdX where X is the devicename.
something like this

cdrecord speed=1 dev=/dev/hdc -v -eject ./Knoppix4.02.iso

for DVD use

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z speed=1 /dev/hdc=./knoppix.iso

This work in 99% of cases with a 2.6 kernel.
if you type dmesg|grep CD in a console you will see what the CDburner is called.
also sudo cdrecord scanbuss dev=ATAPI might help you.
happy burning[/code]

Hi OErjan,

Tks for your advice.

use /dev/hdX where X is the devicename.

It worked for me.

also sudo cdrecord scanbuss dev=ATAPI might help you.

# sudo cdrecord scanbus dev=ATAPI
