cdrecord -scanbus strangeness?
Hello, sorry if this is a stupid question. I just downloaded cdrtools-2.01a20pre2 to try out its ATAPI support. (Linux 2.4's ide-scsi seems to be very broken.) I noticed the following: - cdrecord dev=help says bus scanning is supported for the ATAPI transport; - However, if I run cdrecord -scanbus, I just get Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a19 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. strace seems to indicate that cdrecord stopped scanning after it failed to open the /dev/pg files. It may be this is the intended behaviour, but somehow it feels wrong that it would not scan ATAPI because it can't open the pg devices. Is this a bug, or is there some special notation I need to use to tell cdrecord to scan the ATAPI bus? (This is basically a DIY distribution, but I remember this also happening on my Debian box at the office. So I am suspecting that this behaviour is not related to the OS.) Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
