versions. Likewise, the CD-Rs you intend to write can be included in the
set of slots administered by iXOS-JUKEMAN.
First you disable the recorder drive of your jukebox for use by the file
system with the command
cdadm detach jb.dev -d 4
(see also “Command line index” on page213). This assumes that the
jukebox description file is jb.dev and that the recorder is the fourth drive
of the jukebox.
After burning the disk the drive can be reattached with the command
cdadm attach jb.dev -d 4
Next insert the recordable disks into the jukebox, which can be done using
the cdadm insert command. For more information see “Manage disks”
on page 112. Note that setting the blanks parameter (see “Server pa-
rameters” on page 123) to a value of 2 for this purpose will speed up this
process considerably (do not forget to reset the parameter to its previous
value).
If you plan to insert a large number of CD-Rs, importing them one by one
may be time consuming. You can open the jukebox to perform the import
manually. You must, however, detach the jukebox before you can open it.
After the import, and after reattaching the jukebox, the following command
must be issued:
cdadm rescan jb.dev
to update the jukebox’s memory concerning which slots are filled and
which are empty (see “cdadm rescan <device>” on page 227). The
command is only mandatory for jukeboxes with non-volatile memory, like
the Pioneer 5004X or the Grundig GMS 3200 which might otherwise dam-
age themselves. For other types of jukeboxes this command will do no
harm.
After successful import of the CD-Rs you have two options depending on
whether your want to write only one or two CDs or plan to burn a whole
series.
Burning individual CDs
Simply place an empty CD in the recorder drive. This is achieved by is-
suing a command similar to the following:
cdadm movecd jb.dev 4 9
