Hi,
Due to popular demand, I dare to be slightly off-topic now:
CDRECORD 1.6.1 has been ported to Digital Unix 4.0D by the original
program author Joerg Schilling (schilling_at_fokus.gmd.de) on a free account
on one of our Alphas. CDRECORD is a CD-Recording software for Unix which
can be used to burn CD-ROMs on CD-Writers directly connected to a Unix
machine (Digital Unix in this case).
The sources as well as Digital Unix binaries can be had from:
ftp://finwds01.tu-graz.ac.at/pub/cdrecord
The original home-page of the software is:
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/nthp/employees/schilling/cdrecord.html
Burning and copying CDs under Digital Unix is rather simple with this
software: Consider a CD-ROM drive as SCSI-ID=4 and a CD-WRITER on
SCSI-ID=5.
To copy a CD, one would use something like this:
# dd if=/dev/rz4c ibs=64k obs=64k | cdrecord -dev 5,0 -speed=4 -
For burning a local directory to a CD you could use this:
# mkisofs -a -A my_data_cd -d -D -L -R -r -T -o cd.iso /home/data
# cdrecord -dev 5,0 -speed=4 cd.iso
# mount -t cdfs /dev/rz5c /cdrom
I hope it is of some use for all of you. It certainly is very useful for
us. We use if for automatic data archiving to CD-ROM.
Tom
