How can I mount my DVD burner?

If I use scsi emulation so that I can burn CDs/DVDs by adding hdd=ide-scsi to my append line in lilo.conf, then I am unable to mount my /dev/scd0 (DVD burner)

 

 [root@localhost omar]# mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/dvd

/dev/scd0: Input/output error

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

[root@localhost omar]# mount -t udf /dev/scd0 /mnt/dvd

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,

      or too many mounted file systems

      (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use

      ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

[root@localhost omar]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/dvd

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,

      or too many mounted file systems

      (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use

      ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

 

Here are all the possible ways I've tried to set up /etc/fstab:

 

/dev/scd0 /mnt/dvd auto user,iocharset=iso9660,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 0 0

 

/dev/hdd /mnt/dvd iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0

 

/dev/scd0 /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,ro,noauto 0 0

 

/dev/scd0 /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 user,noauto,ro,unmask=0 0 0

 

What am I missing? It's got to be something simple. If I don't put hdd=ide-scsi in my append line, I can mount them just fine.

 

[root@localhost omar]# ls -l /dev/scd0

lrwxrwxrwx    1 omar     cdwriter        8 Apr 30 03:13 /dev/scd0 -> /dev/hdd

[root@localhost omar]# ls -l /dev/hdd

brw-rw----    1 omar     cdwriter  22,  64 Aug 30  2001 /dev/hdd

[root@localhost omar]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Only thing I can recall offhand is someone suggesting you set it up as a cdrom and tell the software that its a dvd. I know that probably won't help but its just something I read somewhere either here or in alt.os.linux.mandrake. There's a thread going on there on DVD's, might want to read..

Thanks. That's not really the problem. My other drive is DVD ROM and I can mount any disk fine in it. If I make my second DVD Burner's options look identical in /etc/fstab, it won't mount. If I unload all the scsi-emulation modules, I get this:

[root@localhost omar]# mount /dev/hdd

mount: /dev/hdd is not a valid block device

[root@localhost omar]# ls -l /dev/hdd

brw-rw----    1 omar     cdwriter  22,  64 Aug 30  2001 /dev/hdd

[root@localhost omar]# ls -l /dev/scd0

lrwxrwxrwx    1 omar     cdwriter        8 Apr 30 03:13 /dev/scd0 -> /dev/hdd

[root@localhost omar]# mount /dev/scd0

mount: /dev/scd0 is not a valid block device

[root@localhost omar]# mount /dev/sr0

mount: /dev/sr0 is not a valid block device

[root@localhost omar]# mount /dev/hdd /mnt/dvd

mount: /dev/hdd is not a valid block device

 

I've searched this site and scoured the web. Yes, I have support for scsi cdroms compiled as a module, as you can see. Thanks for the assistance, though. I'll try anything.

Hmmmm. I discovered that there is a new scd0-1 in my /dev/ directory:

 

[root@localhost dvd]# ls -l /dev/scd0-1

brw-rw----    1 omar     cdwriter  11,   0 Aug 30  2001 /dev/scd0-1

 

So, I added this:

/dev/scd0-1 /mnt/dvd auto user,umask=0,noauto,unhide 0 0

 

to my /etc/fstab and guess what...I can mount /dev/scd0-1

Interesting. Now to try rebooting and see what happens.

Wow, it still works after a reboot.

 

[root@localhost omar]# ls -l /dev/scd0

lrwxrwxrwx    1 omar     cdwriter        8 Apr 30 03:13 /dev/scd0 -> /dev/hdd

[root@localhost omar]# ls -l /dev/scd0-1

brw-rw----    1 omar     cdwriter  11,   0 Aug 30  2001 /dev/scd0-1

 

Cool! Now I'm testing the burning. I can only choose to read from the burner in XCDroast, probably because I don't have my other drive with scsi-emulation for fear of not being able to mount it. Later I will try scsi-emulation on that drive and see if I can mount it and also use it to read directly from CD/DVD to burn to CD/DVD.
