Hello Joerg, The cdrecord manpage says:
Cdrecord needs to run as root to get access to the /dev/scg? device nodes and to be able to lock itself into memory. I think you meant "/dev/sgX"? As I pointed out in my bug report, I believe that I do have access to these, as a normal user... except sg0, which cdrecord shouldn't need to touch anyway because it's a hard disk. As for locking into memory: If I understand correctly, you want to prevent the OS from swapping cdrecord to disk, which would cause a buffer underrun. I really doubt that will happen on my system. The manpage also mentions the need to run at the highest priority -- also presumably to avoid buffer underruns. This shouldn't be an issue unless the system load is very high, but I try to avoid such conditions when writing CDs. Also, my writer has a large buffer, and I often write at 4X speed (Yamaha audio-master mode). I appreciate that you've put a lot of work into developing this software, but I prefer to use the Debian packaged version, for convenience. I've had relatively few problems with it. -- graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
