qeldroma Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Additional, i recognized this problem only existing on machines with more than ONE CD-drive (equal if burner, SCSI or not). Cutting additional drives off had resulted in a working supermount on three machines here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 That is interesting. I do have two drives. One for read and the other for burn. I should experiment and take one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 I noticed, as i looked on a LM8.2 machine, that there is a small difference in the way, supermount is declared in fstab is: NOW: none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/dvd supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 LM8.2: /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /mnt/dvd /mnt/dvd supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 Perhaps this differnece is all, that is needed? Try it out, i've got no access to that machine in the moment to try it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveleh Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Hi BVC, you said: When you go to mcc>MountPoints>?cdrom?>tick Options, click O.K., it then listuser supermount noauto Did you select user, and noauto? and unselect supermount? This is all that's required to turn off supermount. Hmm, I tried this and it didn't work :( I have a DVD and a CDRW both of which were initially setup with supermount and seem to be working fine. When I followed the instruction above, checking both user and noauto and unchecking supermount, whenever I click on the respective desktop icon konqueror opens but nothing is displayed and the stsus bar says 0 file 0 directories. As soon as I revert back to unchecking user and noauto and checking supermount the contents display correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest itti Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 if you disable supermount you have to mount the drives manually for the contents to be displayed mount /mnt/cdrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitz Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 I also discovered that supermount was causing the incredibly long delay when checking for dependencies and installed packages in RPMDrake. I turned it off and now it is faster than in LM8.1. Glitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
