+-- aleksandr.derevianko@ru.transport.bombardier.com [freebsd] [09-10-03 19:05 IST]: | Hello ! | | I have the following problem: I'm writing backup scripts, to store SCM tree on | CD via ATAPI CD-burner. | I need to have ability from inside the script find out the type of CD in burner: | Is it CD-R or CD-RW, and is it blank or not, | and also obtain at least CD label without mounting CD. | | Search in mail archive does nothing, so if anybody know how to do this, please | respond. | | P.S. I'm using FreeBSD 4.8 and PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W4824A. | | Best regards, | Alexander. If you are using cdrecord, you may be interested in # cdrecord -scanbus -- With Best Regards, Shantanoo Mahajan
