cdrecord question

[Gregory Nowak]

Yes, this is perfectly normal. To find out under what device name your drive now is, just examine the dmesg output.

> Hi Greg. Well I got it to work, but it doesn't work under /dev/sr0. It still says bad file descriptor, but I can specify the dev by using 0,0,0 the device coordinates. However, when I am blanking a Cd, it just sits on last chance to quit, starting real write in one seconds. Is this normal to have it sit like that while blanking? I can hear the drive working, so its obviously doing something. Just asking this because I have never seen cdrecord working, so I'm not sure on the normal status msgs. Thanks!

However, a while back, Kerry said that the regular cdrom drive should also be scsi-emulated. So, it's your call I guess. When I had the regular cd-rom drive, the fact that it wasn't ide-scsi emulated didn't cause any problems for me, although I gathered from Kerry's posts that that may cause problems for others.
