Re: CD Burning problem
Hi Alvin,
Thanks for your advice.

I have visited the above site, some of link already missing. Several things
have changed with cdrecord lately. The latest versions of cdrecord, however,
support writing to IDE/ATAPI cd writers directly using the ATAPI system.
'man cdrecord' does not help much.
# cdrecord -scanbus
did not generate the needed information. I have to use following command
instead
# cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus

============
With following command I can blank a CDRW
# cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=4 blank=all -v -eject
without complaint.
However with following command I can't burn a CDRW
# cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=4 -v -eject /path/to/folder containing
tarballs
