Topic: Using CD-utils

[ronald1969]

Can anybody help me.

I just installed CD-utils so I should be able to backup to CD R/W

Installation went fine.

In the Server-Manager panel 3 options are added:cd_utils, cd_backup and cd_burn.

Using cd_utils to configure I have to tell where my SCSI-burner is located, but I am using a IDE-burner (Iomega ZIP 4x650).

Can anyone tell me how to get this working.

Thanks,

Ronald

i'm not sure but I think IDE-SCSI is enabled in the kernal if not you could always add it to the bootloader.

The cdrw is most likely the only thing that is going to be using the scsi emulation, one way to check is to put a cd in the drive and try to mount it using "mount -t iso9660 /dev/sda1 /mnt/cdrom" or what ever mount point you would like to use.

I have searched the contribs.org site for my problem and found a simple solution.

To the file /etc/lilo.conf I added the line append="hdc=ide-scsi" and then I run /sbin/lilo.

Next I restarted the SME server and tried to use the backup program, which worked correct.

I hope this helps others.
