Burning an .iso at the command line

Galaxy_Stranger · 10-14-2005, 01:57 PM

I'm trying to burn an .iso from the command line. I've mounted the burner successfully with this:
$mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom

HDD is the device file name that the burner is attached to. Then, I use this set of commands to burn:
cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=-2,-2,-2 <.iso_filename>

It fails to write and says it cannot open the scsi driver. The values I've used for SCSI, Target and Lun are apparently incorrect. I've also used 1,1,0 because that's what I found when I ran "cdrecord -scanbus".

What am I doing wrong?

don't mount your cdrom.

run cdrecord directly.

I get the same message.

Are you sure you have the permissions to access the cd burner then? If not, you should run the command as root.

Yes, I've been using Root to avoid any problems like that.

The device is written incorrectly.
You said cdrecord -scanbus shows 1,1,0
On older systems, kernel < 2.4 it would be dev=1,1,0
and on newer systems, like my FC4 it is dev=ATA:1,1,0

YAAAY! It worked!

Thanks so much for your help!

It did specify ATA, but it was above where it gave the SCSI, Target and Lun. I see where it says "devname: 'ATA' ".

Thanks again!

I had a similar problem and this worked as well.
I'm runnig FC4 (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4) on an HP L2000 AMD Turion 64.

cdrecord -scanbus returned a value of 1,1,0
When I ran cdrecord, i used dev=ATA:1,1,0 and everything worked fine.

I'll have to test out what Homey said about the version. I should have mentioned I was using Core4.

I can't do it right now because I decided to start from scratch and do a bare-bones installation and build it up - so I don't even have CDRECORD yet!
