As Dirk Froemberg wrote: > I use the same device. I would leave the worm device alone since CD-R > are no WORM. Sure, but then don't forget that worm(4) is just a misnamed CD-R driver only. It has never been designed to support the ancient WORM-type devices at all. The misnomer has historical reasons, since many of the first-generation CD-R devices announced theirselves as `type write-once'. (There was no common standard for them back in 1995, and even now, a CD-ROM drive ``with multi-media extensions'' is nothing i would immediately assume to be a CD-R device, so the poor naming continues.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
