Whats the diff between /dev/sg0 And /dev/scd0 ???
I ask because when I was learning to get dvd::rip to be able to burn on
my cd-rw I discovered that there was a file "/dev/cdwriter" (which is a
symlink to /dev/sg0) Which made me wonder why the default mount point for
my cd-rw was instead "/dev/cdrom1" which is sym linked to /dev/scd0...
Anyway before I found a better way, I was able to get dvd::rip to burn
cd's using the /dev/cdwriter device file link. The only thing it didn't
seam to do was to be able to let me use dvd::rip's open & close buttons
for the cd tray...
But while I had this in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdwriter /cd-rw udf,iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu 0 0
I was also getting this error message on the boot screen:
Updating /etc/fstab unexpected file type for /dev/cdwriter
[FAILED]
None the less the drive "SEAMED" to work well enough to burn vcd disks.
And to auto detect the differeance between CD-R & CD-RW disks...
I got rid of the error message (and restored use of those buttons) with:
/dev/scd0 /cd-rw udf,iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu 0 0
But so that I might understand it, would someone tell me what exactly was
unexpected about the file type? And what was failing???
Thanks
