Burning a USB attached CDROM

Would like to do some rc2 testing and have a USB CDROM which I believe is supported? AFAIK it's the internal drives which can't be done.

I installed 'wodim' but it's not seeing any drivers. Attaching the block device to a VM doesn't work either (the CDROM isn't visible to wodim). I tried attaching the PCI USB controllers but they are in use by a xen driver.

Any help appreciated.

you should use the drive as normal in sys-usb. just make the private image large enough and copy whatever it is you want to burn to that vm.

Thanks! I had forgotten now that with Salt Qubes has a nice way of doing USB VM's.

Any recommendations for how to CLI burn a file?
