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.
