How to Check the CD Media

The cdrw command works with or without vold running. However, you must have superuser or role access to stop and start the vold daemon.

1. Insert a CD into the CD-RW device.

   The CD can be any CD that the device can read.

2. Check that the CD-RW drive is connected properly by listing the device.

   $ cdrw -l Looking for CD devices... Node Connected Device Device type ----------------------+--------------------------------+----------------- cdrom1 | YAMAHA CRW8424S 1.0d | CD Reader/Writer

3. (Optional) If you do not see the drive in the list, you might have to do a reconfiguration boot so that the system recognizes the device.

   # touch /reconfigure # init 6

   Or, use the following commands to add the CD-RW device without rebooting the system.

   # drvconfig # disks

   Then restart vold.

   # /etc/init.d/vold stop # /etc/init.d/vold start
