[CentOS] How to configure CD-RW in CentOS for cd burning using cdrecord
Dear all, I am using CentOS 4.4 Version Now.I want to Burn multi session CD using commands "mkisofs" and "cdrecord" on command prompt. I don't know how to configure the cdwriter(Samsung)? I am able to find the device using "cdrecord -scanbus" but when I want to get next track of already written cd using "cdrecord -dev=X.X.X -msinfo", system displays error and I am unable to get the next track. Previously, I was using Red Hat Linux 7.2, for that I have configured lilo.conf and fstab file as adding "append hdX=ide-scsi" and "iso9660 X,X,X,X 0 0" respectively. I have a scsi card which is already loaded and I can see the entry in "lsmod". Same 7.2 configuration is not working and even I also don't want to continue with that as CentOS supports cd-RW/DVD as default. Can any body help me to figure out the problem and advise me to take necessary steps do fulfill the requirement. I don't want to use K3B or other as I have some data and I want to make this cd burning process automatically in incremental manner into CD. Looking for a fast reply. Thanks in advance.. --Regards S.Balaji
