Guest LinuxExplorer Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Just out of curiosity, has anyone here had any luck with supermount? I mean without any trouble at all. I've had to completely disable it to read data from my CDs on both my CD-RW and DVD. Oh, and is just me or is there a small performance boost when its turned off too?

qeldroma Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Performance in that way, that entering /mnt does not need time any more. And no, got no solution by now, therefor it's part of the kernel, there will not be a solution in sight. But when the next patched kernel from Mandrake is out, perhaps then it is fixed...

Guest anon Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 I hate to say it , but i have no problem with supermount at all, it works for me. Like many bugs/faults with mdk, not every computer is affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Have you made sure you have all the latest updates for your version of Mandrake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LinuxExplorer Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Yeppers. I've got all the updates that it'll allow and that I didn't see as unecessary (like a library for IJS printer drivers). I guess I'll have to wait until there are more updates and perhaps a new release. The eject and mount commands are easy enough from console.

zero0w Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 I have a question. Does the retail PowerPack version better than the download version in this respect? Since it come out almost a month later - according to the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LinuxExplorer Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 They both share the same kernel and any updates would bring the downloaded version up to date (which is what I burned off the .isos). The only real differences are the commercial software that come with it and the support you receive. Of course, they show that here: http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/90/comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qeldroma Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Is it possible, that this only probs in case of more than one CD/CDR-drive? I've got two and got this probs. My girlfriend has one, supermount works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheHollowSpy Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I have one drive on a Dell Optiplex GX50 and I had to disable Supermount in order to read from CD's, it used to fail after reading about 15Mb with a File not found:<filename> message.
