And HERE is the mistake: You need to specify the /dev/cd0 device which gets accessed by the ATAPICAM facility. The /dev/acd0 device does not understand SCSI commands. > But when I try > growisofs -dvd-compat -dry-run -Z /dev/acd0 /path/to/video > I get: > :-( unable to CAMGETPASSTHRU for /dev/acd0: Inappropriate ioctl for > device Fully correct. See "man growisofs" for an explaination of what /dev/dvd refers to. You can either use growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/file.iso or growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd -r -J /path/to/files if you have devfs.conf point dvd to cd0 - or you simply specify /dev/cd0 instead of /dev/dvd. > No matter if I try as regular user or as root the error message stays > the same. Of course. :-) Remember: ATA -> /dev/acd0, ATAPICAM ("SCSI over ATAPI") -> /dev/cd0, and therefore /dev/dvd -> /dev/cd0 for simplified access. Given you set the permissions correctly, burning DVDs as a non-root user should be no problem. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
