Like "ATA:2,2,0" . Their numbers are not cdrecord compatible. See

"Pseudo-SCSI Adresses". It is well possible to use IDE device file

paths like "/dev/hdc" rather than "ATA:2,2,0".

With SCSI devices it is possible to use "/dev/sg1" or "/dev/scd0".

Note: Address numbers have changed since cdrskin-0.2.2. To get the old number

scheme, use option --old_pseudo_scsi_adr . Sorry for any inconvenience.

|

[prefix:]scsibus,target,lun
|
||||
can be interpreted in two different modes.
|
||||
|
||||
Mode --no_pseudo_scsi_adr uses scsibus,target,lun as given by the operating
|
||||
system. On (old) real SCSI burners and on emulated SCSI it is compatible to
|
||||
cdrecord even in quite old versions.
|
||||
On plain ATAPI this mode offers no scsibus,target,lun addressing at all
|
||||
but refers directly to the device file names /dev/hdX. Modern versions of
|
||||
cdrecord on kernel 2.6 do accept these addresses too, but the advised method
|
||||
is rather ATA:scsibus,target,lun which is not supported by cdrskin, yet.
|
||||
Standard mode uses scsibus,target,lun as given by the operating system. On
|
||||
(old) real SCSI burners and on emulated SCSI it is compatible to cdrecord.
|
||||
|
||||
In standard mode there is a scsibus,target,lun representation for any visible
|
||||
device. The price for this is that the numbering has nothing to do with SCSI
|
||||
and thus is not compatible to cdrecord. Each number triple corresponds either
|
||||
to a device file address or to a libburn drive number.
|
||||
On plain IDE this mode offers no compatible scsibus,target,lun addressing,
|
||||
but the cdrecord-ly advised methods ATA:scsibus,target,lun and ATAPI:...
|
||||
are supported by cdrskin via an own incompatible address enumeration.
|
||||
In this mode, option -scanbus will list only SCSI devices unless option
|
||||
dev=ATA or dev=ATAPI are given, which will suppress SCSI devices and only
|
||||
show IDE drives (i.e. /dev/hdX without ide-scsi emulation).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In mode --old_pseudo_scsi_adr there is a scsibus,target,lun representation
|
||||
which has nothing to do with SCSI and thus is not compatible to cdrecord.

Each number triple corresponds either to a device file address or to a

libburn drive number.

|

Some programs or users have their own ideas about the address of their burner.
|
||||
K3b 0.10 for example derives cdrecord addresses by own examination of the
|
||||
devices and not by calling cdrecord -scanbus.
|
||||
On systems where the burners are attached via (emulated) SCSI it is worth
|
||||
a try to use cdrskin with optio --no_pseudo_scsi_adr . If ATAPI devices are
|
||||
used directly then this will work well only if the frontend uses /dev/hdX as
|

address and does not insist in ATA:scsibus,target,lun .
|

On systems where the burners are attached via (emulated) SCSI, standard mode
|
||||
will hopefully be fully compatible. If IDE devices are used, then hope that
|

the frontend uses directly /dev/hdX or asks its "cdrecord:" via
|

dev=ATA -scanbus for drive addresses and drive descriptions.
|
||||
|

Old frontends which do not know dev=ATA or dev=ATAPI and which do ask their
|

"cdrecord" via -scanbus may be well served with option --old_pseudo_scsi_adr .

To direct any stubborn callers to the appropriate drives, cdrskin allows to

define device address aliases. Like
