It is not only about priorities. In fact most modern systems are overpowered for writting tasks especially if burn-free feature is used. There is a problem with not beeing suid which occurs with certain cdrtools <-> kernel versions. The upstream author does not support non-(suid)root usage by principle. There is a patch in the BTS to work around this problem (bailing out on forbidden "rezero_unit"). Eduard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
