mounting cd's , dvd's problems HELP!!!!!
how do i fix this error....
[myname@ip-0511 myname]$ mount /dev/hdc mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems i get it when i try to mount a dvd on mandrake 10.1 |
Is it a movie DVD? If so, you don't mount it, you just play it.
If it's a data disc, check what you have in /etc/fstab for hdc. |
the dvd is a data dvd
i get this message when i do /etc/fstab [myname@ip-0511 etc]$ cd fstab bash: cd: fstab: Not a directory or i am doing something wrong.... i am new to linux.... |
fstab is not a directory. It is a file. You are getting the error because of this.
And for mounting your DVD, read the man pages. -Prasanta |
aaaah.......!!!!!!! sorry !!!! i am new to this linux thing....
where do i find the man page????? i dont even know how to fix this problem..... i dont get what the problem with my fstab is....... maybe you could help me out........................ |
run "cat /etc/fstab" and paste the output here. Then we can tell you if it's been set up to allow you to mount a DVD with the command you're using, or if you need to specify more details.

thats the output from the command below.............
[name@ip-0511 name]$ cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda6 / ext3 noatime 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0 |
There's your problem!
You have two entries for /dev/hdc! Comment out the bottom one (by putting a # in front of it) and then try 'mount /mnt/cdrom' (If /mnt/cdrom doesn't exist, then 'mkdir /mnt/cdrom' first) |
hello again ..................
how do i comment out the last entry??? could you give me the exact steps to follow...................... please put as much details in the as possible(newbie to linux)....................sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
okay i managed to comment out the last entry and this is how it looks like
[name@ip-0511 name]$ cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda6 / ext3 noatime 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 #/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0 still i get this error!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [name@ip-0511 name]$ mount /dev/hdc mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems |
as for this command............
mount /mnt/cdrom i get this....................... mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems |
i hope you saw my last tow replys that i put...................
|
#mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
hdc - secondary master -Prasanta |
okay this is what i i get from the last command you sad i should try........
[root@ip-0511 name]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only [root@ip-0511 name]# then it does open the dvd.... is there a way of correcting this............so that i can mount the dvd or cd without being root............ |
If you want to pass parameters while using the command then you have to root. A normal user don't have the priviledge to pass parameters.
For a normal user to mount your cdrom one must have an entry in the /etc/fstab file. It should look like this /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0 -Prasanta |
