problem mounting cd-rw

[Guest rdlampitt]

Ok -

 

This seems to be a common problem but I've looked and looked for a solution and none seem to work.

 

supermount was enabled initially, but now it is not and I have also created the mount icons as others have suggested.

 

I have an IDE DVD drive and that mounts no problem.

However I get the following error message when trying to mount my HP 9500i CD-RW:

 

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

or too many mounted file systems

 

 

Here are the contents of my fstab:

 

 

/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1

none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,nosuid,ro,umask=0,user,exec,nodev 0 0

/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,nosuid,umask=0,user,exec,nodev 0 0

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,unhide,noauto,nosuid,umask=0,user,nodev 0 0

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

none /proc proc defaults 0 0

/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

thanks!

I suggest the following lines:

 

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,nosuid,ro,umask=0,user,exec,nodev 0 0

/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 udf,iso9660 iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,nosuid,umask=0,user,exec,nodev 0 0

 

Be sure to backup the old file first in case this doesn't work.

I tried the above selection and they niether improved or worsened my situation.

Please go to the /dev directory and tell us where /dev/scd0 points to.

I don't know exactly how to figure what /dev/scd0 point to....

 

but I went ahead and did an "ls -l" and I think /dev/scd0 points to:

 

scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0/cd

 

 

if I made a mistake, please let me know.

 

thanks, for your help.

Ya, that looks correct. However, I think it may be pointing to the wrong drive.

 

I want you to stick a CD in your DVD drive and then try to mount the CDRW. Specifically, I'm looking for whether or not the DVD gets accessed.

 

What device is your CDRW in IDE terms (eg. hda, hdb, hdc, etc.) ?

I am having the same problem with my DVD rom drive. Used to work fine with Mdk 8.2, now gives exactly the same error (btw I also have a cdrw that works fine).

 

I am hoping your problem is resolved... that might give me insight to what is happening here..

[Guest rdlampitt]

In IDE terms, I believe my CD-R is hdd (my DVD is the master (hdc), and the CD-R is the slave).

 

When I try to mount a cd in the drive, the disk spins and it looks (and sounds) like it is accessing it, but then the error pops up.

 

let me know if you need more info....
