How do I copy the file `/home/rodolfo/myfile' onto CD

Thanks to Miark and Mikkel who kindly replied. I managed to copy the file `/home/rodolfo/myfile' onto CD using cdrecord, with Mandrakelinux 9.1, this way:
# cdrecord -scanbus
, and got the following output:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Cdrecord 2.0 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J�rg Schilling Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24 Using libscg version 'schily-0.7' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'HL-DT-ST' 'CD-RW GCE-8160B ' '2.01' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
. Then I put an empty CD-RW into the cdrom2 drive and did:
# mkisofs -r -o cd_image myfile # cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -data cd_image
. After this, I blanked the CD-RW:
# cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -blank=fast
Everything seems o.k. Instead, with Mandrake 10.1 I had problems: I tried the same procedure as above, with different versions of cdrecord, but always when trying to burn the CD I got the same error message:
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/sg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
I'm lost here. Please, any hint? Rodolfo
With 10.1, the use of SCSI emulation for IDE burners isn't used any more. Instead, you specify the device the same way you would for the mount command. SO, if you are using an IDE burner, you would use something like:
cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=/dev/hdc -data cd_image
Now, if you are using the same append line in the boot loader for 10.1 as you used for 9.2, you will need to remove the ide-scsi option.
Now, if you have a SCSI burner, then this does not apply. I have not used a SCSI burner with 10.1 yet.

Why are you using cdrom2 and dev=0,0,0 when in my experience if I was using cdrom2 ( assuming it was a writable unit ) I would be using dev=0,1,0 as your -scanbus reports.
Then of course, your -scanbus does not recognize any drive at " bay two " so to speak. Your dev=0,0,0 would suggest to me, that if you have two cdroms installed, that -scanbus is not seeing one of them. Hence nothing is getting done physically.
Then of course I'm still a learning newbie myself, so treat my remarks as more akin to being a query rather than helpful advise.
