Hi,I am new to Unix. I am trying to use my scsi cdrw (yamaha2100)as backup device on Openserver 5.0.7. Can anybody please, help me do this? My system recognizes it as a cdrom only. Thanks.
 
see thread58-690752. Thouyght it is for IDE but the s/w required in UNIX is same i.e WD supplement and cd-record

Hello tshot, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I still don't understand, how to call cdrecord to write to the disk.
I could erase a disk though with the blank=all command. Would you please, tell me the actual command to writ to cd, say a filesystem /m. I really would appreciate it.
 
1. make image file with mkisofs
2 use cdrecord first scan/checkdrive/dummy options just 2 verify
3. to get cdrecord help type
Code:
cdrecord --help 2>& 1 | pg
[/cdrecord]
4. the cmd line is something like
[code]
cdrecord -scanabus
would give u values for dev e.g. 0,1,4 i,e cd drive on 2nd channel with scsi id=4

cdrecord -dev=
cdrecord dev=0,1,4 -dummy <image file created with mkisofs> -speed=8
thie would just check the performance and tell u will it work or not.
and without dummy it will write and int the end say abot lead in and leadout writing
cdrecord dev=0,1,4  <image file created with mkisofs> -speed=8
there is one issue if the dev i.e /dev/cd0 is only writable by root. then either change the permissions or run cdrecord as root.
