[Bug 228712] New: Increased complexity in erasing CDRW disc since introduction of wodim
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228712 Summary: Increased complexity in erasing CDRW disc since introduction of wodim Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: p79kem2@yahoo.ca QAContact: qa@suse.de Question: What if I wanted to erase a CD-RW disc that was already loaded in my CD-Writer device. If I was using openSUSE Linux 10.0 or openSUSE Linux 10.1, all I would have to do is: Launch the K3B application Select menu option Tools/Erase CD-RW Select the Burning Device and press the Start button If I am using openSUSE 10.2, I have to take four additional steps to accomplish what I with openSUSE Linux 10.0 and openSUSE Linux 10.1:I have to: Open a Konqueror file manager window Set the location to media:/ Locate the CDWriter containg the CD-RW disc, right-click on the icon and select unmount Wait for device to be unmounted. Launch the K3B application Select menu option Tools/Erase CD-RW Select the Burning Device and press the Start button If I do not unmount the drive I get the following error in the output from wodim: Error trying to open /dev/hdc exclusively (Permission denied)... retrying in 1 second The problem is specifically with the inclusion of the open_excl function in /cdrkit-1.0pre5/libscg/scsi-linux-sg.c. I checked the source of of cdrecord-2.01-7 (openSUSE Linux 10.0) and cdrecord-2.01-25 (openSUSE Linux 10.1) and there is no open_excl function in either of these versions. Is there a reason for this change in functionality? PS. I do know that wodim is a fork of cdrecord.

Refusing to erase mounted cd is IMO correct behavior. It is true that this case was not detected by cdrecord on 10.0 and 10.1. Unmounting the device before erasing could be handled by k3b. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228712 ------- Comment #2 from p79kem2@yahoo.ca 2006-12-17 09:58 MST ------- I am looking at this from the point of view of a typical computer user. It is not going to be obvious to typical computer user that the CD-Writer/DVD-Writer device needs to be unmounted. This is a User Interface issue from my perspective. Yes, K3B and other CD/DVD burning applications could be made to unmount a device if that was a requirement of these programs using cdrecord or wodim. You stated that "wodim needs exclusive access to the device". Could you please point me to the design specification or other documentation that clearly documents that wodim/cdrecord needs to work this way. Thanks. PS. Undocumented or poorly documented source code does not count as documentation! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
