. . .overlooking the obvious,
atapicam is
not loaded. I had added
atapicam_load="YES" to the
/boot/loader.conf file, but after rebooting, I did not notice (in the
messages log) that the load of
atapicam failed. Further more, the module is not found on this FreeBSD v4.8 system; however, it is loadable on my v7.2 system.
Regardless, after some additional reading, I'm attempting to use
burncd as follows, and the only questionable (not to imply
successful) write to the CDROM results from the following script:
tar -vcf tar.out -C /www/vhosts/AR042SWRCAP.org . | \
burncd -v -f /dev/acd0a data -
. . .execution produces the following:
# backup_whatever
adding type 0x08 file - size 0 KB 0 blocks (0 padded)
next writeable LBA 0
addr = 0 size = -1 blocks = 0
writing from stdin
written this track 1250 KB total 1250 KB
only wrote -1 of 2048 bytes err=5
I'm trying to follow the man pages for
tar, mkisofs and burncd. Shouldn't the pipe through
mkisofs be required? The CDROM disk cannot be mounted on FreeBSD or read by Windoze.
Also, from what I've read, the
tar command should not specify
-f tar.out. The intent should be to pipe the output of
tar through
mkisofs and into
burncd.
