Accessing DVD-RAM drive

2007-12-25 6:32:00

Dear managers,

I just purchased a USB-DVD Burner that is capable of accessing DVD-RAM.
I would like to use this drive as a backup medium for a Solaris
machine. I plugged the USB-device into a Ultra 20 with Solaris 10,
inserted a DVD-RAM medium and checked /dev. I found an entry
/dev/usb/mass-storage0.

bash-3.00# ls -l /dev/usb/mass-storage0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 57 Oct 9 11:27
/dev/usb/mass-storage0 ->
..http://devices/pci at 0,0/pci108e,5347 at 2,1/storage at 6:scsa2usb

bash-3.00# newfs /dev/usb/mass-storage0
/dev/usb/mass-storage0: No such device or address

How exactly can I create an ufs filesystem on this medium and use it
for backup purposes.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Andreas
