Stat of this thread is now gone, so if you've done this...
hmmm
Do an lsmod and see if you see sg, maybe sd_mod, scsi_mod, ide_cd.
Look at /etc/modules.conf (I think that's it - thngs changed in the last
decade or so).
scsi_mod 133069 4 sr_mod,sg,libata,usb_storage
ide_cd 40033 0
cdrom 36705 2 sr_mod,ide_cd
(also a plain-old cdrom installed via IDE (internal) on this server).
And no such animal as a modules.conf anywhere on the system (per locate
modules.conf)
Try just reading a cd first. Does the device have any king od "write
protect" switch?
Will try the reading. No write protect switch. This CDRW was on a
Win2000 system whose board started overheating and crashing. So it was
working with Veritas just 2 weeks ago.
Use cdrecord with some verbosity flags to get some clues.
And I need clues to help me RTFM. Lot there ASSuMEing already knowing
about SCSI and CD devices...
Are you insertinb them with the correct face up? Don't laugh - with no names w/o
labels, ...
Well, I could believe the no label problem, but I have stacks of these
Memorex CDR disks and it is off the spindle onto the try as I have been
doing for a few years on the Win2000 system. And I just used some on my
corporate HP notebook's DVD/CDRW drive with XP (but no iso software, and
the system is too locked down to add anything they don't send you).
Use cdrecord to print some of the header info of the blank disc you're
trying to write. You'll need to RTFM - I don't have it in front of me
ATM.
I case of tBltD?
Do you have another node that you can test a write on to see if the disc
is really OK? Hopefully that would be an RW disc.
See above.
Have you tried reorienting the device (horiz <-> vertical) to see if
that has an effect?
No. There is just room to put it horiz above the systems that are on a
shelf in a 19" rack....
It sound like you'll need to leave the comfy confines of the GUI room to
solve this one.
Would if I could get more out of RTFM.
