Hi,

i reported nastily bahaving SCSI commands SEND CUE SHEET, SET STREAMING,
FORMAT UNIT, READ DISC STRUCTURE, REQUEST SENSE , RESERVE TRACK.
This was with
  -drive file=/dev/sg2,if=scsi

Plus instructions for me, please, when and how to update my git clone. :)

I will then test by my new xorriso-on-qemu wiki

  http://libburnia-project.org/wiki/QemuXorriso

The development tarball of GNU xorriso is now supposed to work on a
GNU/Linux guest with /dev/vda.
The wiki describes guest preparations for Debian GNU/Linux 6.
With other distros, one might have to do different things to get a /dev/sr1
and rw-permissions to /dev/vda. 

Well, -drive if=scsi will produce a /dev/sr automatically.
(Note to myself: disable udev hack before if=scsi test.)


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
