Using dev=/dev/cdrom is dprecated and unsupported. It may work in some conditions but there is no guarantee. The dev=/dev/cdrom will not work at all on many operating systems and even on UNIX-like systems, there are dvices without a dedicated device driver that for this reason don't have any /dev/* entry. > I have a Liteon DVD writer+ CD-Writer. > > This is the output when I use scanbus > > $ cdrecord --scanbus > scsibus1: > 1,0,0 100) 'LITE-ON ' 'DVDRW SOHW-1633S' 'BS0S' Removable CD-ROM > 1,1,0 101) * > 1,2,0 102) * > 1,3,0 103) * > 1,4,0 104) * > 1,5,0 105) * > 1,6,0 106) * > 1,7,0 107) * > > Now please lemme know if this logic is correct or not? > > cdrecord dev=1,0,0 driveropts=burnfree -v -data cd_image.iso > > Is the above correct or should it have any errors? It is correct, but in case you only have one drive in your system, there is no need to spesify dev= at all.
