What is it that you are trying to do?
]]>I've recently installed Arch on a computer I bought from a friend. I installed using a bootable USB, and installed XFCE 4.8 as my desktop environment. The only problem I'm having is that I can't get the CD/DVD-RW drive to mount. I've been trying to get some CDs ripped, but I've been unable to because of these problems. My main drive is sr1. My fstab is currently:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sdb1 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sr1 /mnt/dvdrw iso9660 noauto,user,exec,rw,sync 0 0
/dev/sr0 /mnt/dvdrw2 iso9660 noauto,user,exec,rw,sync 0 0
When I try to mount sr1 with this fstab, I get the following:
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 helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
When I change the type to auto, I get this error:
mount: block device /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified
The thing is, though, this is only for audio CDs. My old backup CDs mount fine. I'm also able to play the files through the drive using mplayer. I'm really stumped, but this is a Linux noob you're talking to here...
Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
