Everything is working rt....mostly (I'm a perfectionist) but if I say don't, then don't, you know?,,,,and I can't stand errors :wink: Any thoughts are greatly appreciated :) Oh, and the cherry on the cake.....I tried to copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archive, after I was dist-upgraded for future possible installs or whatever and as a source, to a cdr and it acted like it mounted and copied.....cool.....after a reboot later a cdr wouldn't mount and even after a couple of reboots.... :shock: and even today, just now, with no disk in the cdrom I get this localhost:~# ls /cdrom aalib1_1.4p5-18_i386.deb abiword-common_1.99.2+cvs.2003.07.10-1_i386.deb abiword-gnome_1.99.2+cvs.2003.07.10-1_i386.deb abiword-plugins_1.99.2+cvs.2003.07.10-1_i386.deb acme_2.0.4-1_i386.deb adduser_3.50_all.deb alien_8.34_all.deb alsa-base_0.9.4-1_all.deb alsaconf_0.9.4-1_all.deb alsamixergui_0.9.0rc2-1-3_i386.deb alsa-modules-2.4.20-3-k7_0.9.4+1_i386.deb alsa-utils_0.9.4-1_i386.deb alsa-xmms_0.9.12-1_i386.deb apt_0.5.8_i386.deb apt-utils_0.5.8_i386.deb asclock-themes_2.0.12-7_all.deb aspell_0.50.3-12_all.deb aspell-bin_0.50.3-12_i386.deb aspell-en_0.51-0-3_i386.deb aterm_0.4.2-5_i386.deb and of course there's a lot more, but whats up? Is this a mount loop thing? I just want my cdrom back. I can't mount anything, but apt-get can. I booted to win98 and ML9.1 and there's nothing on the cdr, and the puter was shutdown for 2 hrs today, so it can't be in mem can it? :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 OK, so I put in a music cd, don't mount or anything and xmms is playing it. Then ls /cdrom still shows the same 1.5 day old files :shock: ....ThEn while the cdrom was being used by xmms I rm -fr /cdrom and it did. Then I quit xmms and tried to open the cd again and couldn't :shock: DUH, there's no /cdrom :P . mkdir -p /cdrom and xmms plays the cd, and ls /cdrom shows the music files.....what happen to device being busy :?: :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Back away from the box, win98 is slowly release a virus into your hard drive, call 1-800-remove-w98 and leave your house. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Tried that....didn't work.....the house has collapsed and the only thing left standing is a puter with win98, ML, RH, and Debian on it.......who will be left standing is the question :?: :?: :wink: ...for now, we wait :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 On a serious note, so the cdrom is just acting goofy when you boot up. Is it possible MDK supermount is confusing it? I don't know much about supermount and I thought there was a line in /etc/fstab for it. When did it start doing this and did you do any kernel compile in one of them recently that might affect FS's?

bvc Posted August 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 This is the scary part.....the fstab I posted and the cdrom issue is on Debian :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 My bad, I thought your fstab looked the same across the board, what was I thinking Aug 10 16:59:25 localhost kernel: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7. What is that? I kept haveing that flash up when I was using Debian??? Let me search around and see if I can find something for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOlson Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I don't know if you solved this or not, but just so you know, you copied files to a CD-ROM mount point, when a CD wasn't mounted. So, all you did was copied files into a directory. When you would properly mount a CD to that mount point, the files will disappear and you will see only the contents of the CD-ROM in there. When you unmount it again, you will see the files you copied there. If you are trying to burn a CD, you can't do it just by copying files to the mount point. You need to run a CD-burning program to do it. If you didn't realize it, audio CDs don't get mounted, so the mount point won't be mounted, still allowing you to see the files in there. Also, on Debian, or any distro without some kind of Supermount patch in the kernel, CDs won't automatically be mounted. As far as the other stuff goes, I don't know. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Thanks! It does seem to be behaving. I haven't tried to copy to a cd again yet though. Could have sworn I mounted it. Wasn't trying to burn. I've never heard that audio cd's aren't mounted b4. :? How are the files even seen and the cdrom activated (active) if not mounted? :?

DOlson Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Well, when I want to play an audio CD, I just put the path to the device as the location into XMMS' platlist (/dev/cdrom) and it plays. It doesn't mount it at all, it just accesses the device directly and reads the audio data. I tried mounting a plain audio CD before, but it didn't work for me. Perhaps my fstab entries are wrong, but in any case, you don't need to mount to play it. Wasn't trying to burn. I thought you were trying to burn CDs because of this part of your post: I tried to copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archive, after I was dist-upgraded for future possible installs or whatever and as a source, to a cdr and it acted like it mounted and copied.....cool.....after a reboot later a cdr wouldn't mount What did you mean by that? I guess I just didn't understand it. And I didn't understand this part either: I haven't tried to copy to a cd again yet though. It sounds like you're trying to burn CDs without burning them?? I'm confused. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
