I have an older backup application which invokes wodim to burn optical backups. I haven't run it for a while, and when I tried now, wodim throws the following error: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits and the burn aborts about halfway through. Googling this, I find that this problem has been around for several years, and has to do with wodim not running as root. Workarounds involving /etc/wodim.conf have been suggested, but I could not make them work. The workaround that *does* work is to set the sticky bit on the wodim executable, e. g. : chmod +s /usr/bin/wodim We might consider doing this as part of our wodim install.
