cd copy

[Dick Hoogendijk]

What is the easiest way to copy a complete cdrom with freebsd-4.11?
Normally I use burncd to burn an iso file to a new cdr, but I never
copied a complete cdrom to cdr under freebsd. My windows machines are
down and I need the copy soon. So please forgive me if I'm ignorant.
Hope the answer is easy ;-)

you could try :

dd if=/dev/acd0 of=~/my_cd_image
and then use burncd to burn that onto cdrom

but also installing and using k3b is an idea (i'm starting to like k3b
more and more, but i guess you need to have at least a part of KDE
installed)

Try dd if=/dev/acd0 of=~/my_cd_image bs=2048 for data CDs, it helps :)

There's some good information in the online handbook, including
instructions for copying both data and audio CD's:

I will try this option. The "bs" thing sounds right ;-) Though I feel
it's a bad thing not to be able to duplicate a cdrom in an easy way.
I'll check out cdrdao (mentioned elsewhere) too. I know I can mount the
cdrom and use mkisofs, but that will not work for bootable CD's. I just
want to duplicate some bootable CD's in an easy way. So I guess I check
out cdrdao and that kde prog.

Use readcd and cdrecord.

I rebuild the kernel with atapicam (ata, scbus,cd and pass were already
there) and installed cdrecord and cdrdao. I have a few questions:

dmegs states "attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not
present"
Can this querying be set off? Even with cdroms in the drives it delays
booting.

cdrecord -scanbus comes up with a list of (cd) devices plus a warning:
"cdrecord: Warning: controller returns wrong size for CD capabilities
page"

What does this warning mean? What do I do about it?

I don't know.

AFAIK it's a complaint, that the controller doesn't act 100% SCSI compliant.

A firmware update could solve it, but as it's just a warning, you can
as well ignore it.
