No, sorry... It isn't okay. You'll have to use the old naming scheme, the one used by a static /dev.

Re: Is my fstab okay?

Yeah, instead of /dev/discs/disc1/part1 you should use /dev/hdb1, part2 should become hdb2, etc. You get the idea, right?

Re: Is my fstab okay?

Thanks but for the cd,dvd and cdwriter drives is that not a duplication? If so which ones do i have to get rid of?

Re: Is my fstab okay?

for secondary channel drives (ie cdroms), scheme goes to hdc for master and hdd for secondary.

Re: Is my fstab okay?

The duplication of the cdrom device allows you to mount DVD or CDs from the same device.

If you put in a DVD, you run 'mount /mnt/dvd' and it will mount with the type set to udf.

If you want to mount a CD, you run 'mount /mnt/cd' and the type is then set to iso9660.

It's really just a convenience thing.

Re: Is my fstab okay?

why can't one use

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0

for both dvd and cd's , I mean then it will automatically detect if there is a cd or a dvd that is inserted

just my two cent big_smile

Re: Is my fstab okay?

I don't think you should blame the fstab file for the error you get. I've got exactly the same configuration with my dvd-drive, however, i don't get any errors doing anything in BMP or Xine. Try some other software, look what happens....

Re: Is my fstab okay?

You can also try running dbus and hal deamons to automatically sync your fstab. Just add them in that order (hal relies on dbus up and running) in that order in the daemons array in rc.conf.
I've been using it for a while now without any problems.
