[SOLVED]Unable to mount DVD (double layer)

Hello once again

This time I'm having a problem with mounting an udf Double Layer DVD disc.

It is actually the first Double Layer DVD i created with k3b and doesn't seem to have any problem loading in Windows. Had to be an udf due to a file being larger than 4gb.

I'm using HAL to automount all my removable media and up till now I had no problem with regular CDs and DVDs. I also tried manually mounting the drive with the following commands:

#mount -t udf /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
#mount -t udf /dev/hdd /mnt/dvd

The error message I am getting is:

mount: No medium found

My fstab file does not contain any info on the media devices (my DVD and CD drives) because I am using HAL. Is there any configuration I should make to hal (or ftsab?) to automount udf and/or double layer DVDs ? If not, is there a solution to manually mount them ?

- The directory /mnt/dvd exists (I have created it) and I am quite sure /dev/dvd and /dev/hdd are the correct device files, I have successfully mounted a normal dvd with those paths.

- I'm running Arch x86_64.

Any ideas/solutions pleaseee ?

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to mount DVD (double layer)

Perhaps your dvd device is recognized as /dev/sr0?

Run gparted and determine its ID from the listing of items.

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to mount DVD (double layer)

I found what's to blame. Silly me, a simple mistake once again.

Previously, when I mentioned that the dvd disk was working fine on Windows, it was not MY Windows boot, but another PC's. With another dvd-drive of course.

I booted windows just some minutes ago and Windows also failed to detect the disk. So I guess it is my drive's problem. Pretty weird though. It managed to record the disk perfectly but then it can't read it ;|

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to mount DVD (double layer)

I do get an error message though ( sudo mount -t udf /dev/sr1 /mnt/dvd outputs this)

mount: block device /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr1,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

(dmesg | tail outputs this)

I'm trying to burn a 7Gb ISO image with 'burn' but it doesn't find the dl-dvd ..
