I now have only one CD-Rom in this linux machine, and it is an IDE
CD-RW, and thus needs SCSI-IDE emulation. Now, /dev/sr0 is
brw-rw-rw- 2 root cdrom 11, 0 Jul 5 2000 /dev/sr0
so why can't a normal user use cdparanoia with this device, while root
can? This wasn't a major problem, just log in as root. However, root
can't right to the file server, and thanks to the recent disk failure, I
no longer have enough local space to hold the CD as it is ripped
locally.
Anyone dealt with this?
