Mandrake 9.1.
I'm trying to create desktop icons for my cdrw & dvd drives.
I had no problem with the ones I did for my external Firewire & Usb drives.
CDRW: dev/scd0 /mnt/TDK
DVD: dev/scd1 /mnt/DVD
I can read these drives from the folders in Konqueror in the mnt directory.
When I try to create the icon shortcuts: the drop down box doesn't show the /mnt/TDK or /mnt/DVD options. I entered the following manually:
CDRW: /dev/scd0 (/mnt/TDK)
DVD: /dev/scd1 (/mnt/DVD)
When I try to access these shorcuts I get a mount error message: mount point doesn't exist.
Tried that > didn't work. "Mount point doesn't exist".
Looking at my fstab file > do you see anything wrong?
I would think since I can access the drives in the /mnt directory that drives that those devices & folders should show up in the drop down dialog box when I'm selecting the device but they don't.
Supermount was the problem. I noticed on other Mandrake installs they had "none" also. Used Mandrake Control Center to make changes.
Below is my new /etc/fstab file: (Works as planned now)
