Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

Hi all, I have been looking through the forums the last 2 days trying to find an answer to why my CDrom drive won't mount any CD's, but unfortunately no succes.

I have an IDE kernel,  with a CDrom drive and a DVD drive, my fstab looks like this:

none                   /proc         proc      defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0
tmpfs                  /tmp          tmpfs     defaults            0      0
sysfs                  /sys          sysfs     defaults            0      0
usbdevfs               /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs  defaults            0      0

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0     /mnt/cd   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1     /mnt/dvd  udf       ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/floppy/0          /mnt/fl   vfat      user,noauto,unhide      0      0

/dev/discs/disc0/part8 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part7 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/discs/disc0/part6 /boot ext3 defaults 0 1

I changed:

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0     /mnt/dvd  udf       ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

to

/dev/cdroms/cdrom1     /mnt/dvd  udf       ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

When I go to /dev/cdrom/ and execute # mount cdrom0 I get the following error:

mount: can't find /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

And when I go to /dev/cdrom/ and execute # mount cdrom1 I get the following error:

mount: can't find /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

And if I just execute # mount cdrom0 or # mount cdrom1 I get the following error:

can't find cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

I have no idea what could be wrong, any help is very welcome.

Re: Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

looks like /dev/cdrom[01] are symlinks to /dev/ide/host0/bus[01]/target[10]/lun0/cd

So you would need to put /dev/ide/host0/bus[01]/target[10]/lun0/cd (change to the error line you get) in your fstab instead of /dev/cdrom/cdrom0)

What if you use mount /dev/cdrom/cdrom0, does that cause an error too? Perhaps it's just because you're mounting in /dev specifically.

Re: Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

Hi, thanks for the replies:

I tried what you said, and I get the following:

# mount /dev/cdrom/cdrom0

mount: mount point /mnt/cd does not exist

# mount /dev/cdrom/cdrom1

mount: mount point /mnt/dvd does not exist

Does this mean I don't have a mount point?

Re: Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

Do this:

mkdir /mnt/cd /mnt/dvd

and try mounting again.

Re: Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

Thanks, that works for the DVD drive, but when I try to load it in the CD-rom drive (which is also CD writer) I get the following error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom1, or too many mounted file systems

Re: Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

strange... er... is it an iso9660 formatted cd?

Re: Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

yeah udf really is a useless format choice in your fstab. iso9660 works for either format (cdrom and dvd).

Re: Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

But it seems UDF is working, while the ISO isn't (you can see it in the fstab). When I do # mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 I get the error.

Re: Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

perhaps the drive was previously mounted try umount the mount again.

other than that are you sure your drive is cdrom1 and not cdrom0?

Re: Mouting CDrom drive doesn't work

Wait, I changed it and now it works, it was the UDF.

Everybody thanks for your help!
