fstab and cdrom access
What I have here is a laptop, with cdrom, floppy, and an external cd-rw(usb)
I have had so many problem's accessing my cdrom, it's not even funny anymore.
I don't know if it mean's anything or not, but in /mnt, there is: cdrom, cdrom2, floppy.
All of them have the lock symbal on them. I can use the floppy, and cd-rw no problem's.
Here is what fstab look's like now:
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,--,user,unmask=0 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,user 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,user,sync,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
This is what I have tried today, and the error message's that came along with them:
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,--,user 0 0
error=could not enter directory /mnt/cdrom
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,--,user 1 0
error=could not enter directory /mnt/cdrom
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,--,user,
unmask=0 0 0
error=could not enter directory /mnt/cdrom
Last night I could access the cdrom no problem Today, nothing. I have been in circle's so many time's with this, I don't remember what has worked, and what has not.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
thank's

Try this:
Code:
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0
If that doesn't work, try mounting it without supermount:
Code:
/dev/cdrom(or wherever the cd device points to, I'm not sure if /dev/hdc works, maybe try that) /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0

SiezedPropaganda, the first one get's me "could not enter directory /mnt/cdrom
and the second leave's me without a link to the device on my desktop.
Any other ideas?

How are you trying to access your cd-rom? Are you doing it as root?
-
No, as a regular user. I logout, and into root to make my fstab change's. Only because I am a little intimidated by nano as of yet.

This is working for me as of now anyway. We'll see what tommorow bring's.
Code:
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=iso9660,exec,--,user,dev,suid 0 0
