Do you know if DVD rewriters would typically be SCSI or ATA? I haven't tried burning DVDs with the ATA driver. The manual page for growisofs says that you should use SCSI devices on OpenBSD and NetBSD, but it doesn't mention FreeBSD. > I will use an Adaptec 2200S U320 RAID controller for the harddrives, so > perhaps an ATA interface would be easier to configure indepenently of > another SCSI device (then again: maybe not). Any advice in that respect? I don't think having CAM in the kernel will make it more difficult. <snip> > It'll be the first time I'll be using a DVD burner under FreeBSD, so I > still do not know which software best to use.

The growisofs program from the dvd+rw-tools package is the program that does the actual burning. This is probably what you want. Things like k3b and gcombust et al are just front-ends.
