Best to use cdrecord, In a terminal, cdrecord -scanbus scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) 'PIONEER ' 'DVD-ROM DVD-116 ' '1.22' Removable CD-ROM 1,1,0 101) 'MITSUMI ' 'CR-48X9TE ' '1.0C' Removable CD-ROM to determin where your writer is, and then,
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,1,0 -pad -data -eject -ignsize /pathto/<file>.iso
Don't forget the -dao option to cdrecord if you wish the resulting CD to be sumcheckable against its iso image:
md5sum /pathto/<file>.iso /dev/scd0
The two 32 character sumchecks should match exactly. Any one bit error will cause all 32 characters to change.
Sometimes it is necessary to open the CD drawer before running md5sum, which will close it and reset the buffers, etc so that the CD is forced to be hardware re-read.
Also, -pad is probably better done in mkisofs.
