Blu-ray discs Won't Mount for Reading on openSUSE 10.3
I was able to burn a blu-ray disk using Nero Linux. I verified that the
information was written to the disk by opening it with a Windows machine, but unfortunately for backup restore purposes the Windows route will not be a simple one; the best solution is to be able to extract the data using openSUSE, since the data is composed it tar and bz2 files. Under my computer, the disk shows up as "Blank BD-R" but when I click on it, I receive the message, "Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist. Here are some of the things that I have done so far: [~]$ lsmod | grep udf udf 95256 0 [~]$ udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sr1 ID_CDROM=1 ID_CDROM_CD_R=1 ID_CDROM_CD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_RAM=1 ID_CDROM_MRW=1 ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1 ID_CDROM_RAM=1 DEVTYPE=disk ID_VENDOR=SONY ID_MODEL=BDRW_BWU-200S ID_REVISION=1.0a ID_SERIAL= ID_SERIAL_SHORT= ID_TYPE=cd ID_BUS=scsi ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:05.1-scsi-0:0:0:0 [/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.13-0.3]$ ls -l /dev/sr1 brw-rw----+ 1 root disk 11, 1 2008-05-16 16:09 /dev/sr1 [/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.13-0.3]$ ls /dev/dv* -1 /dev/dvd /dev/dvd2 /dev/dvdrw /dev/dvdrw2 [/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.13-0.3]$ ll /dev/dv* -1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-05-16 16:09 /dev/dvd -> sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-05-16 16:09 /dev/dvd2 -> sr1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-05-16 16:09 /dev/dvdrw -> sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-05-16 16:09 /dev/dvdrw2 -> sr1 [/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.13-0.3]$ halmount /dev/sr1 bash: halmount: command not found [/etc]$ more fstab /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600JS-55_WD-WCANM4797649-part6 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600JS-55_WD-WCANM4797649-part7 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600JS-55_WD-WCANM4797649-part1 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 /dev/sdb3 /home/old reiserfs noauto 0 0 /dev/sda1 /home/gjones/tmp ext3 acl,user_xattr 0 0 [/etc]$ more mtab /dev/sdb6 / ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/sdb7 /home ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0 /dev/sda1 /home/gjones/tmp ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0 securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 none /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint vmblock rw 0 0 -------------------------end------------------------------ Please let me know if you can assist.

Disable hal and any automounters. As root do the following.
mount -t udf -o ro /dev/sr1 /media/dvd If that does not work, you may have to update the kernel. If it still does not work and you have at least 4 GB of RAM, use VMware Server and run Windows Vista with 2 GB of RAM. Your Blu-Ray disc should be able to read in that pathetic OS. I do not have a Blu-Ray drive and I will never will. IMHO, HD-DVD is a more open format compared to Blu-Ray. Also Sony makes horrible computer drives. |
Electro,
Thanks for your help. The command does not work, it appears that I will have to update the kernel. Thanks anyway :). Tommy, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. Rafael. |
For those who care to know, this worked for me on a 2.6.28 kernel.
sudo mount -t udf -o loop bluray.iso /media/BluRay |
