Hello, all. Using 2.6.12-gentoo-r10. I followed the instructions here, sort of. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Packet_Writing_on_CD-RW
Is anyone using this feature? Running cdrwtool seems to blank and format the disk, but, I'm stumped as to how to use it. >From fstab, this is the device that works for using dvd. /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 This line I added from the wiki page. # for packet writer /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt/cdrw udf noauto,noatime,rw,users 0 0 But, this is what I get when I try to mount it. mount: /dev/pktcdvd0 is not a block device Or this: pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/hdc ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device I have no reason to think I'm even going in the right direction. Does anyone use this packet writing thing? # lsmod Module Size Used by sg 35040 0 ipv6 263488 6 lp 12292 0 pktcdvd 34308 1 usblp 13696 0 ... Seems to load just fine. Is there another suite of tools or approach that I can use? TIA for any replies. -- |\ /| | | ~ ~ | \/ | |---| `|` ? | |ichael | |iggins \^ / michael_higgins[at]iinet[dot]com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
