mount: input/output error?
hi there:
i have been trying to mount my cdrom but for somereason i could not get it to work. in my /etc/fstab, i have /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0 and when i try mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 i got /dev/cdroms/cdrom0: Input/output error can anyone help? many thanks CHUN ps, i have got the feeling that the cd drive driver might not have been installed configured properly. is there any command to see if its on the system? |
Are you sure that /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is the proper device?
(Also, Fedora usually configures the CDRom properly in fstab) As far as mounting is concerned, try "mount -a" Or try this: "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom" |
thanks for your reply!
oops, forgot to say that i am trying out Gentoo, so this is for Gentoo. i set up my fstab according to this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handboo...?part=1&chap=8 and mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom i got mount: block device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, or too many mounted file systems mount -a does not give me anything..... cheers CHUN |

Then I put in a proper CD and mounted, and it worked So you aren't using a blank CD to test this out, right? Also, I'll explain what this command does: Code:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom Code:
mount -t auto /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom |
thanks for you reply!
i have also tried Code:
mount -t auto /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom Code:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type my fstab looks like this /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 cheers CHUN |
This is the line in my fstab concerning the cdrom:
Code:
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0 |
