(Using debian, 2.4.34 kernel) Has anyone else had problems with the newer versions of cdrecord (aka: wodim) ? I have 2 different CD writers in my system, one of which also does DVD writing. The system definitely sees both of these drives, one of which is also a SCSI drive. I can place media (at least CDs) into either drive and mount the file systems on them, but neither of then can be written to.
I know I've written to at least one of them in the past and created both iso9660 and audio CDs on it. An older version of cdrecord sees both drives, but can't write to it (there is good, writable media currently in both drives). $ sudo cdrecord -scanbus Linux sg driver version: 3.1.25 Cdrecord-Clone 2.01.01a01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J�rg Schilling NOTE: this version of cdrecord is an inofficial (modified) release of cdrecord and thus may have bugs that are not present in the original version.
