Yes, it's likely the SCSI command filtering that got stuck into 2.6.8 (there are a couple of threads about this on LKML) in order to prevent ordinary users (i.e. without CAP_SYS_RAWIO) from sending potentially dangerous commands to drives (e.g. firmware updates). The list of allowed commands apparently isn't long enough to let ordinary users write CDs. This is the main thread where it's discussed on LKML (linking to a convenient point where the problem is explained, follow the thread for more info...) http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0408.2/0091.html > Anyway make sure you're not using ide-scsi on the kernel commandline, and > file a bug in bugzilla with dmesg output etc attached... If it broke now, this has nothing to do with it. Probably the command whitelist needs to be extended a bit. I don't know if anyone has figured out exactly how much just yet... /Per -- Per Bjornsson <perbj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University
