If I use cdrecord to write a file to a cd, how can i read it back. Say
a text file?
Insufficient information. The cdrecord command has a lot of ways
to do what you specify. You need to post the exact command you
have in mind.
If you mean what I think you do, then you might need to use
dd.
You were correct Mike, dd did work. I wrote the file with:
$ cdrecord dev=/dev/hdb -dao test.txt
And copied it back with:
$ dd if=/dev/hdb of=test2.txt

Dumb question - what happens if you run something like
"cat /dev/hdb" or "less /dev/hdb"? I would think that
you could access the file contents that way.
But, since there is no file, there is no EOF. Using dd
lets you control how much data you pull. The other techniques
don't do that.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
