Hello, I'm trying to understand why I cannot read my CD drive directly from a 'c' program using the read(2) system call, or even using the dd(1) command. As you will see, I have both the acd0 and cd0 devices since I have atapicam configured in the kernel.
I can mount cdrom media using mount() and access data via the cd9660 file system, so I know the drive and the media are not the problem. #dd if=/dev/acd0 of=/dev/null count=20 dd: /dev/acd0: Invalid argument 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.000163 secs (0 bytes/sec) #dd if=/dev/cd0 of=/dev/null count=20 dd: /dev/cd0: Invalid argument 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.000179 secs (0 bytes/sec) Thanks, Jon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
