I was just reading an lkml thread (flame fest) on this topic.[0] I have little experience with cdrecord on 2.6.* myself but have either of you tried burning a cd using cdrecord with speed=[greater than] 16 as root? regards, Tony [0] http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0505.3/0539.html Re: OT] Joerg Schilling flames Linux on his Blog From: Joerg Schilling Date: Wed May 25 2005 - 17:49:28 EST [...] If you don't call cdrecord as root, you will not be able to lock in memory and to raise priority in order to prevent buffer underuns. In addition (with Linux-2.6.8.1 or newer) you will not be able to send some of the important SCSI commands mainly related to newer CD or DVD drives. As a result, cdrecord cannot write DVDs or ultra speed CD-RWs or cannot do other things.... > Thanks, > Adam > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
