non-root burning patch for gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9?

Hi, I still don't get the burning to work properly. I have a gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9 kernel, without scsi-emulation, I can burn CD's using cdrecord as root, or as normal user using "sudo cdrecord". Works fine, both audio and data. However, as user I get:

The problem I think is that you have cdrecord set suid root. Remove this and all should be well.

Thanks! I removed the suid bit (chmod 755) and it works now!

Helped me too. However, what about about this "running at higher priority" (as root) thingy? Is this not an issue anymore on newer hardware? Anyone performed extensive tests...? :wink:

thanks a lot - this works!! strange anyway....

Very strange...
Does anyone know why it would work with user privileges but not user privileges? That just doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps its for the same reasons that you can't star a root console in a user's X session and start programs that will work properly. Very strange.

Hey, it worked for me too. Cool. But running cdrecord at normal priority sucks. I hope those issues will be fixed soon. All those cd burning issues are getting pretty silly.

For sure. Something as simple as burning a CD should not have funky stuff like this going on. This is definately turning people away from Linux

What would be nice would be to ditch cdrecord. Its author is a real jackass.

You have obviously never heard/read about the author of cdrecord.

It's been a long time that the author of cdrecord has stopped caring about having it work right, and spends most of his time trying to sell to people its non-free version that natively supports DVD burning (which nobody gives a flying damn about since dvdrw-tools gives DVD burning capabilities to regular cdrecord very well).

He also frequently got into disputes with Linus (and some other people) for refusing to fix stupid stuff, like for instance being able to open the drive per device name (which is now supported, but gives an annoying warning when used). He was also opposed to the removal of kernel-level scsi emulation, even though everybody else agreed it was a very messy way of burning with IDE drives. Even now cdrecord recommends you to use Linux 2.4 or, sigh... Solaris... when running under Linux 2.6.

There's some other stuff I can't remember right now. Need sleep.
