Mounting SCSI Emulated CD-RW





Dear helpers,


I compiled the 2.4.18 kernel using scsi emulation, scsi generic support and scsi CDROM support, iso9660 etc. I boot from the floppy and assume that , there is no need to pass any commands at the linux prompt at the boot time.

=================================================================================
                I have all the scsi device types like /dev/scd*, sr*, sg*.

# ls -l sc
scd0   scd10  scd12  scd14  scd16  scd3   scd5   scd7   scd9
scd1   scd11  scd13  scd15  scd2   scd4   scd6   scd8   scsi
:/dev# ls -l sr
sr0   sr10  sr12  sr14  sr16  sr3   sr5   sr7   sr9
sr1   sr11  sr13  sr15  sr2   sr4   sr6   sr8
:/dev# ls -l sg
sg0   sg10  sg12  sg14  sg16  sg3   sg5   sg7   sg9
sg1   sg11  sg13  sg15  sg2   sg4   sg6   sg8

==================================================================================
              I have created a link to /dev/scd0 using cdrom


# ls -l cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Oct  1 17:49 cdrom -> scd0


================================================================================

             I was able to read the contents of cdrom using the command .

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom


By reading the documentation, I came to know that /dev/sg0 can be used for cd-writers , but the /dev/sg0 is char device and I donot know how to mount it. Can any body help me with mountiing a cd-read write device.
