[CS-FSLUG] udev and SATA DVDRs

[Cia Watson]

I'm replying to this topic a bit late, because I'm not sure I have
anything useful to add. But a question I do have is: what cd or dvd
burning software are you using? 

I don't know if my drive is a SATA drive or not, (how would I figure
that out?) and I haven't yet tried to burn a dvd, just cd's and those
burn fine using K3B; under both CentOS 5.4 and Fedora 12. (Fedora has
some issues with the drive opening and closing again immediately but I
found a work-around for that in the bugzilla report...) I also had some
'buffer overrun' or I/O errors when I was trying to install Fedora 12
on my old thinkpad laptop, but that's a scsi drive I think.

I guess I wonder if maybe the issue is software related (like brasero
which imho stinks) or maybe not?
