Re: growisofs stopped working with 2.6.8

["Tony A. Lambley" <tal@vextech.net>]

It still fails, but I get a different message with the patch:

$ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=file.iso
Executing 'builtin_dd if=file.iso of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0'
:-( unable to PREVENT MEDIA REMOVAL: Operation not permitted

K3B fails with the same message as above.

As you say, it does indeed burn fine as root.
