disk troubles

theringmaster · 2007-11-24 02:32:39

oh woe is me....I'm getting an error everytime i stick a blank cd-r in my drive.

Unable to mount "Blank CD-ROM Disc":
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

and the syslog says:

dmesg | tail
sr 1:0:1:0: [sr1] ASC=0x15 ASCQ=0x0
end_request: I/O error, dev sr1, sector 64
Buffer I/O error on device sr1, logical block 8
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
attempt to access beyond end of device
sr1: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr1, iso_blknum=16, block=16

It is blank... and thus has no filesystem to mount. Isn't that normal?

I don't know, i'm asking you aren't I?

I say it is normal (with no great authority...) Well, lets put it this way. Why are you trying to mount "nothing"?

theringmaster · 2007-11-24 06:52:58

but then again i can't seem to burn to them either....any ideas?

The question is, what does the auto-mounting on your system, and what app did you try for burning?

ralvez · 2007-11-24 14:42:47

Mounting an empty CD will always give the error.
To make sure you are OK otherwise, just place a data CD (even one with some old Windows game will do) and try to read it.
If you want to test burning use K3B or if you prefer you can use the command line with:

1. Find device ID if you do not know what it is:
  cdrecord -scanbus
2.  Creating a CD from an ISO image
  a. Insert black CD into drive
  b. cdrecord dev=2,0,0 -data speed=8 ISO_file.iso

Note: 
To enable Juliet support (long file names in widows) add -j 
To enable HFS (Mac file system) support add -hfs

Hope this helps.

Just a quick note that cdrecord has been replaced with wodim(1), in the cdrkit package. If your cd burning does not work, make sure that wodim or cdrecord (which ever one you may have installed) can see your device (it has to be scsi-ide compliant, so any ATAPI compatible device will work without tweaking iirc).

[yourusername@localhost]$ wodim --devices
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0  dev='/dev/scd0'    rwrw-- : 'MATSHITA' 'DVD-RAM UJ-850S'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You should get some kind of output like the one above when you run wodim --devices

Hope this helps,

@ delphiki,

Actually, I have both ;-)

well i would guess that thunar-volman does all the heavy lifting around my place. I've tried k3b, gnomebaker, and basero

when i do the wodim commands, It find it but why am i not able still to burn an iso (ubuntu) to a disk. gnomebaker freezes up, k3b somehow manages to put data on the disk but it results in errors, and basero fails to see a disk in the drive.

wodim --devices
wodim: Warning: controller returns wrong size for CD capabilities page.

 0  dev='/dev/scd0'     rwrw-- : 'COMPAQ' 'CD-ROM LTN403'

try downloading cdrecord and see if you can burn.
