Mounting DVD and Harddrives


Hi

I'm trying to mount my DVD but is dosen't work.

This is my config:
1 scsi HD (Linux ) ID : 0
1 scsi CDR ID : 1
1scsi CD ID : 2

2 x IDE HD pri/sec master
1 DVDR sec slave
In my fstab and mtab i only got one cdrom drive and that's the scsi cdrom with ID 2 .
I can mount that one!

How do i add my second scsi cdrom , my win HD and my dvdr?

Thanks

Mikkel

you'll need to add entries to your /etc/fstab file. to run mp3's youll need relevant permissions. Ill post my file and show you what i mean.

Code:
/dev/hdb1     swap              swap       defaults                  0   0
/dev/hdb2     /                    ext3         defaults                  1   1
/dev/hda1     /windows        vfat          auto,rw,user,exec    1   0
/dev/cdrom   /mnt/cdrom      iso9660    noauto,user,ro         0   0
/dev/writer    /mnt/writer       iso9660    noauto,user,ro         0  0
/dev/fd0       /mnt/floppy      auto         noauto,user,rw,exec 0   0
none           /dev/pts           devpts     gid=5,mode=620       0   0
none           /proc               proc        defaults                   0   0
The fourth colum needs to have exec in it for you to be able to execute programs. user means that users can do stuff on that drive. The auto/noauto means that the drive will be mounted automatically on start up if auto and won't be mounted on boot if set to noauto.

for you're dvdr drive will need to be setup here in the fstab either by putting an entry like
Code:
/dev/hdd   /mnt/dvd_mount_directory       iso9660    noauto,user,ro         0  0
or by soft linking /dev/hdd to something easier to remember (like /dev/dvdr) then putting that instead of /dev/hdd.

I'm afraid I don't know much bout SCSI disks I'm afraid. I suggest looking at how the other disks are set up in your /etc/fstab and altering them to fit the other drives.

As for the mp3 issue, try using vfat instead of msdos. All my music is on my windows drive and reads fine

HTH
