== Recent vandalism / edit warring by [[User:Knutjb]] == |
|||
This user repeatedly tries to add false claims to the [[Cdrtools]] article and similar articles. |
|||
All his claims are void because it is a verifyable fact that CD/DVD/BluRay burning requires more than the privileges of a normal user. In addition, this is confirmed by many bug reports in the bug tracking systems of various Linux distros that confirm that burning fails with programs like "wodim" when done as a normal user but works with the same programs under the otherwise same conditions when called as root. |
|||
Wodim and similar software has no concept of dealing with this problem, but cdrtools implement support for Solaris fine grained privileges and for Linux capabilities via setcap, so cdrtools currently is the only burning software that allows a non-root user to burn optical media without problem. |
|||
It seems that the account Knutjb only exists for attacks against the cdrtools project. {{Reply to|Knutjb}} Stop your attacks, or you will be blocked. [[User:Schily|Schily]] ([[User talk:Schily|talk]]) 11:50, 3 November 2015 (UTC) |

Please verify 'Cross-platform' specification - seems to be only for Linux/Unix ??
- There is no cross-platform support, it does not even compile on UNIX. Cdrskin is Linux only. 87.158.117.56 (talk) 19:54, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- It is included in various Linux xand BSD distributions (FreeBSD, NetBSD, Dragonfly BSD) and Solaris clones (OpenIndiana). No idea about other operating systems. Tzafrir (talk) 00:52, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- Technical statement by me as libburnia developer: libburn >= 1.3.6 can perform SCSI/MMC drive operations on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and NetBSD. So there it can burn to all optical media. On other X/Open compliant systems it is restricted to POSIX i/o, which enables libisofs/libisoburn/xorriso to operate on filesystem image files.

Request by libburnia developer: Please consider to mention the use case of xorriso's emulation of mkisofs in the production of bootable ISO 9660 images. It works with GRUB2 underneath grub-mkrescue. It is used with ISOLINUX to produce live CD or installation ISOs of Debian, Ubuntu, Archlinux, ... http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD_002dROM.html http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Isohybrid
move to libburnia?
cdrskin is one of the binaries included with libburnia. Libburnia also includes xorriso, which should be the binary to use (or the library is used directly). Any objection for moving it? Tzafrir (talk) 15:59, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
