addr Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I replaced a dvd writer and would like some help with what to put in fstab and /mnt for both the primary CD-rom and slave DVD-writer. I have played around and finally removed references to either in fstab or /mnt. On boot the system hangs after loading Hal daemon. I can post the fstab id you like but the optical drives are no longer in there as I said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Depending on where your drives are, it would look similar to this: /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 of course, the /dev/sr0 is for my laptop, but you can put this to /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd for each of the drives. I would then have /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/cdrom2 for both drives. /dev/hdc would be /mnt/cdrom and /dev/hdd would be /mnt/cdrom2. The rest of the line remains the same. Make sure you create the directories if they don't exist already in /mnt. Mandriva normally does all this for you unless you disabled the harddrake service.

addr Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well it stopped kicking out the cdrom drive but still stalled at Hal Daemon. Here is a copy of my /mnt (This happened once before, but I had been partitioning and thought I had clipped the Mandriva partition and I ended up re-installing). Perhaps if Hardrake is not running then the addition of the mouse could be affecting things? I haven't knowingly stopped any processes. file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/cdrom file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/cdrom2 file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/floppy file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/sda1 file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/sda10 file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/sda11 file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/sda3 file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/sda8 file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/sda9 file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/sdb1 file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/sdb5 file:///mnt/sda5/mnt/sdb6 and the /etc/fstab /dev/sda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=utf8,sync 0 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0.users.iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0.users.iocharset=utf8,noauto,rw,exec 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sda10 /mnt/sda10 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sda11 /mnt/sda11 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sda8 /mnt/sda8 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sda9 /mnt/sda9 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sdb5 /mnt/sdb5 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/sdb6 /mnt/sdb6 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
