CD-Writing on Linux

Log of Investigations and Attempts

Environment

SuSE-Linux 6.1, Creative CD-RW Blaster 2224 on /dev/hdd (IDE, secondary controller, slave)

Available Packages

(everything else I saw were only frontends to one of these)

cdwrite (abandoned)

At least it mentions IDE drives, althoug it does not recommend to use them.

hdparm -r 0 /dev/hdd is a necessity, because otherwise cdwrite will complain about a read-only file-system.

But even afterwards, the same problems happen

cdrecord (used)

no (or only in very recent versions) ATAPI support, so I can't use it for my IDE drive.

cdrecord is said to undergo rapid development (as opposed to cdwrite).

The SCSI-only limitation can be bypassed by the kernel option "SCSI-hostadapter emulation", which I started using and it works well. The CD-Writing-HOWTO explains it all.
