cdroms won't mount...

hmmmm..........trouble with drives...

cdparanoia will rip a cd just fine, however the devices don't show up in Konqueror to view contents. when i try to manually mount, it get errors like
"too many files systems mounted, or bad superblock, or bad option, or wrong fs type....."  if not that it says to make sure the disc is in properly.  Can only access the devices in konqueror su mode...

hope that made sense...

advice please?

also, konqueror navigation window in user mode won't allow resize.
when i try to make it large enough to actually use it jitters and flickers
while i pull like hell on it, then goes back to a sliver when i let go.....

hope i didn't break things.....

Re: cdroms won't mount...

:?: I have this problem as well with my combo drive....

dvd's mount fine, as do data cd's- However music cd's produce the "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, or too many mounted file systems."

Fstab:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0    /mnt/cd    iso9660    ro,usr,noauto,unhide   0   0

/mnt/cd exists in /mnt of course

dmesg:
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x51
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 64
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=hdc, iso_blknum=16, block=16

Re: cdroms won't mount...

you can't mount music CDs, you just have to play them.

Re: cdroms won't mount...

You could use submount which is really cool I think. Takes away
the hassel of always mounting and unmounting.

check out this thread compliments of lanrat...

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … t=submount

If you want to try submount....

the thread is pretty self explanitory but here's the steps I did...

If you havn't done this already for making packages....

open a console and do..
pacman -S fakeroot

then do...
abs

then go to /var/abs/local and create a folder and copy the
submount pkgbuild to it.

Open a counsole at this location and type...
makepkg

then install the created submount-0.9-1.pkg.tar.gz with...
pacman -A submount-0.9-1.pkg.tar.gz

Then to automate everything just edit your /etc/fstab

first I created directories under /mnt

/mnt/dvdrom
/mnt/cdrw
/mnt/floppy

then I edited the removable media lines in my fstab like this....

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrw subfs fs=cdfss,ro,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0 0 0

/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/dvdrom subfs fs=cdfss,ro,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0 0 0

/dev/floppy/0 /mnt/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,umask=0 0 0

Ofcorse you will need to specify the dev you use which might be
different than mine. For more details about the fstab strings...
http://submount.sourceforge.net/

After doing that I rebooted and walla! I pop a cd, dvd, or floppy in and go to the
mount point and I can see the contents etc..  works just like
supermount A special thanks to lanrat!
