In the past I've successfully used: cdrdao write --device ATA:0,0,0 --driver generic-mmc vcd.toc
to create an SVCD disk. Now, however, this gives the message: Error trying to open /dev/hdb exclusively (Device or resource busy)... retrying in 1 second This is really strange since /dev/hdb is a 40G hard disk. The dvd drive is /dev/hda. 'wodim -scanbus' gives: scsibus1000: 1000,0,0 100000) 'TOSHIBA ' 'CD/DVDW SD-R5372' 'TU53' Removable CD-ROM 1000,1,0 100001) * 1000,2,0 100002) * 1000,3,0 100003) * 1000,4,0 100004) * 1000,5,0 100005) * 1000,6,0 100006) * 1000,7,0 100007) * However using cdrdao write --device ATA:1000,0,0 --driver generic-mmc vcd.toc gives this message: ERROR: Cannot open SCSI device 'ATA:1000,0,0': Illegal value for busno, target or lun '1000,0,0' What device specification do I need to use? -- Hatred is a feeling which leads to the extinction of values.
