To format or clear the content of a CD-RW (where the N,N,N dev values can be determined
by first running the command 'cdrecord –scanbus')
cdrecord dev=N,N,N blank=fast
To burn an existing file.iso to a CD-R/RW:
cdrecord dev=N,N,N –dao -pad padsize=150s –immed –data file.iso
[Under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, use the following:
cdrecord dev=/dev/cdwriter driveropts=burnfree –dao –data file.iso]
Growisofs
Determine if growisofs is installed (part of the dvd+rw-tools package):
1.
rpm –qa | grep dvd+rw-tools
If it is not installed:
rpm –i dvd+rw-tools<revision>.rpm
You may also want to check that the cdrecord and dvdrecord packages are installed.
After the dvd+rw-tools rpm is installed, a tutorial is available if you point you browser at the file
2.
/usr/share/doc/dvd+rw-tools<revision>/index.html.
NOTE: There is no manual for growisofs because all arguments are passed to mkisofs(8); the few
expections are covered in the tutorial mentioned above
To format new DVD media (assuming your DVD device is /dev/scd0):
dvd+rw-format –blank=full /dev/scd0
To burn a DVD±RW, DVD±R, or DL DVD+R with, for example, the files in /tmp on the initial
session and add the files in /bin in a later session:
growisofs –Z –R /dev/scd0 /tmp
growisofs –M –R /dev/scd0 /bin
To burn an existing iso file, file.iso:
growisofs –Z /dev/scd0=file.iso
