problem with mounting cdwr
hi all,
well, i downloaded a file from windows.. and since it is more that 1.4 mb .. i copied it to a cdwr and went to the linux laptop ( another machine ) and tried mounting it but problems occured: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, or too many mounted file systems what is the problem please?? best regards |
Does your laptop cd reader read cdrw at all? Older ones can have a problem with this.
|
yes it can .. when i boot to win2000 .. everything is fine .. i just put the file there and get it from mounting the drive in linux .. but i would like to get it directly from the in linux..
any ideA?? best regards |
Did you compile your own kernel? If so, did you enable support for iso9660 filesystem (the standard filesystem for CD-ROM)? Try and see if maybe it's setup as a module. (modprobe iso9660)
|
Was the CD recorded with packet writing? Was the CD "closed"?
|
Rashkae : i didn't touch the kernel .. it is what i got when i first installed linux ... i did modprobe iso9660 ( is it supposed to check it or what?) and i got: modprobe: Can't locate module iso9660
does it means that iso9660 is not supported?! strange .. i could mount recorded cds ( cdr not cdwr) well i didn't try to mount -t iso9660 the cdr .. but i thought this is the defualt one .. suggestions? if you suggest to add a module please tell me in details .. i really don't know how to add a module ( always fail!) dorward: no the cd is not closed:) best regards |
No need to load modules
The module I was talking about is a generic CD filesystem. If you can mount CD-R, you already have support for this in your kernel and need do nothing more. (all distros I know of come with iso9660 support by default.)
Terribly sorry, but I'm out of ideas. |
thanks:) hopefully one will help:)
best ragards |
are you sure that the cd drive is on hdb and not hdc?

There is a packet writing file system patch for the kernel, but that is in the experimental stage and I do not know if it is compatable with the system you are using under Windows. http://freshmeat.net/projects/packet-cd/ |
fatgod: if it wasn't hdb i won't get that message, right?
well, today i formated a new cdwr from windows .. while i was doing that .. it said that it will format the cd using UDF format, i was like .. WaaaW so this is the format .. it is not iso9660 .. hmmmmm now .. is this UDF supported?? any suggestiong? thanks all |

/dev/hdc /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 enter this line into the fstab file (just be sure to have a dir /media/dvd) or modify it to suit your needs and then to mount it all you need to do is insert a disk (that is not blank) into the dive and type mount /dev/hdc and that should work. try changing hdc to hdb and hdd as it will be one of these. most likely hdc though!! good luck! |
I think that since his Linux box is capable of mounting CR-R, there is no point in checking the syntax and details of his fstab. :)

Oh, I must be backing up the wrong tree so to speak. I didn't realise that he could mount disks. I re read the thread an I don't see where he indicates that he can mount some disks and not others...
but anyway if you can mount some disks murshed then disregard my comments :D sorry about that! |
Just a quickie.... what program did you use to write the CD-RW in the first place?
