Re: is DragonFly advertising wrong block device to K3B?

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:K3B autodetects my single DVD burner as /dev/cd0c (3,0,0).
:
:Trying to change it to /dev/cd0 says theres no burner there,
:
:The weird thing is burning to /dev/cd0c will work for data CDs but fails for 
:audio CDs. So I did a test with cdcontrol to play an audio cd and when I use 
:the cdcontrol's default setting cd0c, it gives me Input/Output Error but 
:using just cd0 (or acd0) works.

    Well, my guess is that cd0c works when DragonFly thinks its a data CD
    and creates a fake partition table for it, so cd0c exists.

    I don't know why it thinks the burner does not exist when you specify
    the raw device (/dev/cd0).  /dev/cd0 should pass-through to the actual
    device.  Perhaps ktracing the two commands (with /dev/cd0 and /dev/cd0c)
    will tell us something.  We definitely want /dev/cd0 to operate for
    both audio and data from the burner's point of view.  For mounting
    purposes /dev/cd0a or /dev/cd0c may be required.
