I have been trying to erase a CD-RW(moserbaer)
using
cdrecord utility (on kernel 2.6.11). Writing o CD-R is not an issue. To erase the disk I issued the command "cdrecord
-v
dev=/dev/hdd blank=all"
AFAIK, dev option is given in "dev=bus,target,lun" format.
"cdrecord -scanbus" tells what bus,target and lun values are.
Thanks for you reply.. Actually, I am able to write on a CD-R Hence as far as hardware goes there is no problem. The problem got resolved. By default when you issue the command that I mentioned it takes the highest speed supported by the CD-RW. Now when cdrecord tries to erase the CD at this speed (which in my case was 10x) gets into problem (for reasons not know to me yet). I tried to erase the CD-RW with speed=4 option and this time I could erase the CD.!
