How to reload a CD/DVD without physically opening the disc tray?
by exerceo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JRGD)
After burning an optical disc (CD/DVD/Blu-ray) using K3b with the option not to open the tray, Linux still thinks that a blank disc is inserted.
lsblk still lists the disc as "2K" size:
Code:NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sr0 11:0 1 2K 0 romMounting the disc fails:
Code:mount: /media/username/RAM/disc: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.However, K3b correctly shows the disc label. This means that the optical drive and K3b is aware that the disc contains data, but the Linux system outside K3b is unaware of it, until the tray is physically opened and closed.
On Windows, writing to the disc without opening the tray works. Windows Explorer shows the files immediately after finishing.
Is there any way to reload an optical disc on Linux without physically opening the tray? How to make Linux "aware" of the new data on the disc without physically reloading the tray?
Side note: In the title of this post, I used "CD/DVD" instead of "optical disc" or "Blu-ray disc" because "CD/DVD" is the most widely understood, and "disc" can be confused with "hard disk".
And to the criers of "optical discs are obsolete!!1!1!", watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbxaPc2Xf5M
