Not sending the message does not help.

BTW: You specified dev=0,0,0, why did you do that?
Since 2004, cdrecord automatically finds the drive in case that there is no 
more than one available drive in the system. Cdrecord may better know it's 
address.

There is no useful SCSI locking on Linux, so there must be a different problem.

Try to call "cdrecord -scanbus"

Hi Joseph,

Suppose /dev/dvd is the device in question do a

   fuser /dev/dvd

to see, what is using the device.

Another source for that kind of error messages are
wrong permissions of the device, you (or better your
account) is missing a certain group membership (group
"cdrom", "cdrw" for example) or Xfburn exspects
/dev/dvd (or something else) and udev has generated
a more cryptic device name like /dev/sr0.


I've tried to burn a dvd from a command line:
cdrecord -v -eject -dao speed=4 dev=0,0,0 dvd.iso

but I got a generic error message that it is not possible.
running:
fuser /dev/sr0

come up with empty line, but Xfburn now can access the drive :-/
