Appendix B: Troubleshooting

You are unable to run CDwriter.

Try:

Check that Cdwriter is installed. /sbin/swlist will list all installed packages.

Solved?

NO - Try:

Make sure that the path /opt/cdwriter/bin is in your path.

CDwriter does not detect my drive.

Try:

As root run /sbin/ioscan. This should list all the devices on the system, you should see the CDR/CDRW device

listed. If you do not, ensure the drive is turned on and check the scsi cable and terminators. Also check the termination

of any other devices that may be before the CDR/CDRW device on the scsi bus.

Solved?

NO - Try:

In order for CDwriter to function the drive must be attached to a bus that has a scsi pass-through driver

attached. If the bus the CDR/CDRW device is attached to does not have a device called

Initiator

then there is no pass-

through device on the bus and CDwriter will not function. Move the drive to bus with a pass-through driver or to a

different computer and reinstall.

CDwriter detects my device but won't let me erase or set the speed correctly.

Try:

It is possible that the drive you are using is not listed in the drive data base. Check the file

/opt/cdwriterlib/cdwriter-drives. If your drive is not listed run cdrecord -inq dev=x,y (where x and y are the bus and scsi-

id of your drive) add a line to the cdwriter-drives file of the form:

Manufacturer Model DriveType (CDROM,CD-R or CD-RW) MaxWriteSpeed.

Errors while writing a disk.

Try:

The error messages generated by cdrecord can be very cryptic, in normal operation the most likely error you will

receive is buffer under-run or power calibration. Most other errors imply something is wrong with the CDR (W) device.

Contact TAMS if the problems cannot be resolved using the techniques outlined in the Caveats - Writing Speed section of

this manual.

Unable to mount a disk written with Cdwriter.

Try:

If you are writing on re-writable media, the drive you are using must be

MultiRead

capable. If your target drive is

not

MultiRead

capable use only CDR media.

Solved?

NO - Try: E

xamine the writing surface of the disk. If the surface is regular, you see no banding, then the disk is

probably still blank, check and make sure you have Dummy Write disabled.

Solved?

NO - Try:

It is possible the drive is defective, contact TAMS.

Unable to read or list some files on the CD.

Try:

Some drives have trouble reading the ends of disks unless they have additional padding. Write the disk with more

padding data added.
