Hi.
Whenever I'm trying to mount a CD, I get this message;
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I've even tried to mount the CD I've used to install ArchLinux, which I'm sure is correct... I use;
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
which gives;
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
then I use;
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -t iso9660
to get;
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
...
dmesg | tail
gives;
sr0: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16
here's my /etc/fstab;
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/fd0 auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda4 /home ext2 defaults 0 1
... I'm using a DVD Burner as cdrom, dunno if it can be the cause of this issue, but I guess it doesn't make difference... I've also tried using /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/cdrom, but same result.
Thanks. Any help is welcome...

Ok, I got it working removing;
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
from my /etc/fstab ...
Now, I can mount cds using;
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -t iso9660
My main concern is... what was not correct with my /etc/fstab line?

Not sure since I don't really use fstab but you could try replacing auto with iso9660 and then trying
mount /dev/cdromAs far as I know you do not need to specify the destination when it is already specified in fstab.
