Jeez, I've spent the better part of an otherwise nice evening searching for a solution to my problem with CDRTOOLS. The *real* problem was of course my faulty memory :-( (This is just to ensure that nobody else wasts time on a similar problem, and yes I did search the mail archive) Background: I've got a P4 with AHA29160N scsi controller and 2 Maxtor scsi disks and one Plextor CD-RW and one Pioneer DVD-rom, runns FreeBSD 4.5R. I added another Maxtor disk, and then cdrecord all of a sudden did not find the Plextor (did a "cdrecord -scanbus"). I downloaded the latest cdrtools ( 1.11.a21 ) from www.freebsd.org and built and installed. No change. I did check the /dev/cd* devices (that there was enough of them) So still it did not work. After a good while I went trough some of the code, and noticed that it uses the pass device! I knew this (once)!. Solution: As the README.FreeBSD says, make sure you have enough of the /dev/pass* devices. After a "./MAKEDEV pass5" everything works A OK. So, now I'm going to I'm going to execute some virtual kicking of my behind :-) /* Stein M Sandbech Email: stein@ife.no ** Senior Systems Engineer, EDP dept Email: stein@wopr.ife.no ** Institute for Energy Technology Tel: +47 63 80 60 00 ** Box 40, N-2007 Kjeller, NORWAY Fax: +47 63 81 11 68 */ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
