HP 9350i 10x4x32 IDE, slave on ide0 Read CD-writing HOWTO at LDP ( http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html ). In a nutshell you need to configure the ide-scsi module so that the cdrecord tool thinks it's writing to a scsi burner. Note that the device shows up as /dev/scd0, _not_ /dev/hdd. If you want to let people other than root use the CD drive you'll need to chmod both /dev/scd0 _and_ /dev/sg0. <pre> poohpa:~# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.1' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 9300 ' '1.0b' 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) * poohpa:~# </pre> You use *mkisofs* to make the iso 9660 filesystem image and then *cdrecord* to write it to the disk (both packages can be dselected). For example, this will build a filesystem image called /mnt/test/cd_image with /home/cvs as /cvs, /home/www as /www, and /home/postgres as /postgres: <pre> # cd /home # mkisofs -r -o /mnt/test/cd_image cvs/=cvs www/=www postgres/=postgres </pre> You can mount the image via loopback to see if it's what you want: <pre> # mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 /mnt/test/cd_image /mnt/cdrom </pre> Then you can burn a CD with the image (note that the =blank=fast= flag tells cdrecord to erase the media first - this only works with cd/rw media, also note that the ="0,0,0"= matches what =cdrecord -scanbus= output above): <pre> # cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 blank=fast -data /mnt/test/cd_image </pre> Alternatively you can pipe the output of mkisofs into cdrecord. This doesn't chew up a lot of temporary disk storage, but you don't get to look at the results before you burn them. This is probably OK if you're using cd/rw media or if you're running the same script over and over (e.g. backups): <pre> # cd /home # mkisofs -r cvs/=cvs www/=www postgres/=postgres | cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 blank=fast -data - </pre> The HOWTO talks about having to do a pro-forma =mkisofs= run to find out how big the image will be but it appears that the HP 9350i doesn't require this. *Audio CD's* Of the tools that you can "dselect" only cdrtoaster appears to be able to take mp3's as input and burn them onto an audio disc.
