dvd/cd problems
HI,
I had my DVD/CDWriter working normally with SuSE 9.0...I made a change in my computer. The change that I made was to allow the computer to use multiple hard disks by pulling out one & installing another.... This caused my DVD/CDWriter to failed to be detected by Suse 9.0.....the following is the error when I try to mount the CDWriter :- Could not mount device : mount:/dev/cdrecorder is not a valid block device I checked my /etc/fstab entry & it is as follows :- /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 and cdrecorder is a sym link to sr0... However if I do a dmesg on cdrecorder the dvd/cdrecorder is not all detected..... This is quite frustrating...Any clues/help would be appreciated. |
If your cdrecorder is still on the same ide controller, you might be able to mount it by doing:
mount /dev/hdX /media/cdrecorder where X is the letter of this drive. You can try with c and d, most likely to be right. But b is an option, too. |
DVD/CD mount problems in SuSe 9.0
Hi,
Thanks for your reply..I tried the following :- mount /dev/hdX/media/cdrecorder where X is c, or d but I get this error :- mount: can't find /dev/hdc/media/cdrecorder in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab I did a vi on fstab and mtab under /etc but I did not find any entry under hdd or hdc.... Any clues as to how to get this working .. |
"mount /dev/hdX/media/cdrecorder where X is c, or d..."
Did you put a space? Its mount /dev/hdc_/media/cdrecorder replace the underscore by a space, you get the idea. |
dvd/cd problem
Yes I did give a space when i do :-
mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder I get a mount : hdc is not a valid block device. But if i do file /dev/hdc I get hdc:block special (22/0) I think the whole problem is somewhere related to my shifting the harddisk to make it removable & pluggable.....So the problem is related to that...Perhaps ide cable , master slave connection in the hard disk whatever..... Because this whole thing was working before..... Thanks for your suggestions...Keep posting them as it gives me new ideas |
