While fiddling with the boogered up drive, I want to copy ~/ to DVDs
using a Knoppix live CD. The laptop has a DVD drive, but the Knoppix CD
was in it when I launched K3b. I had to use the paper clip to eject it,
after which I inserted a blank DVD. Knoppix sees /dev/hda2 and K3b lets
me drag files from ~/ to its Burn window. But when I tell it to burn
the DVD I get:
Waiting for media...
Writing DVD+R
Using growisofs 6.1 - Copyright ... etc.
Starting writing...
:-( unable to O_EXCL /dev/hdc: someone was in time to remount?
Fatal error at startup: Device or resource busy
mkisofs did not exit cleanly
Error while4 creating ISO image
Unable to eject media
I'm not sure what "someone was in time to remount?" means. I tried
remounting /dev/hdc, but I can't open a terminal without the Knoppix CD
in the drive. This arrangement isn't working. There must be a simpler
way to do this. How do you use a live CD to burn data to the same drive
that the live CD is in?
