DVD Burning with proxmox

[SirLouen]

I have a external usb dvd-rewriter connected to my proxmox machine

for some reason debian doesnt detect it +


pve-manager: 1.5-10 (pve-manager/1.5/4822)
running kernel: 2.6.24-11-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.24: 1.5-23
pve-kernel-2.6.24-11-pve: 2.6.24-23
pve-kernel-2.6.18-2-pve: 2.6.18-5
qemu-server: 1.1-16
pve-firmware: 1.0-5
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-13
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve11
vzdump: 1.2-5
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.12.4-1

I'm using kernel 2.6.24-11 because i need the OpenVZ support.

The Rewriter is a typical LG GE20LU11:

Any ideas why it doesn't recognices the unit?
What shall I do to make it work?

It is found in the list of usb devices as RW SuperDrive, I have associated it with a KVM machine and I could manage to get into the content of a CD with some major problems (usb support under KVM is really bad).

no ls /media, is not automounted by the way. I was wondering If I can mount it as a usb drive or something.

Hi,

try :
mkdir /media/dvd
mount /dev/scd0 /media/dvd

if you have juste one CD or DVD on your serveur.
