By default cdrskin will accept /dev/scdN or /dev/sgM but finally insists in seeing a /dev/srN. You may push it towards /dev/scdN by adding option drive_scsi_dev_family=scd The problem will be solved in upcomming version 0.5.0. (It also affects xorriso which can only be helped by creating a /dev/sr0 softlink.) > Note that hda is my hard disk, I don't know why cdrskin tries to use it. libburn would know that it is not a CD drive after opening it. But it may not open a CD drive in the progress of burning. Such drives get marked by the O_EXCL bit which allows to prevent such a fatal opening. Now this /dev/hda is open O_EXCL and so libburn has no chance to examine it. A busy burner would look exactly the same. I will see what i can do to distinguish both. For now it is planned to issue a message like NOTE: Could not examine busy device '/dev/hda' HINT: Busy '/dev/hda' seems to be a hard disk, as '/dev/hda1' exists. But better check. But i wonder why /dev/hda is permanently open anyway. Usually its /dev/hda1 et. al. which are mounted.
