Mounting dvdrw drive
 

Well i am trying to mount my dvdrw drive but when i do mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom i get a message saying that i must specify the filesystem this is when i try to mount a cd. when i put in a dvd it mounts fine, but when i select the media icon in systems i get a blank folder. im using slackware 11 by the way

To mount CDs, try

try
If you are not mounting it in the same place as you do the dvd try using the same paths that you do for that.

well i did mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom. i then got a message saying, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom. missing code page or other error....etc. what does all this mean?

Is this a valid written dvd or cd disc inserted or a blank dvd/cd disc?

Well this is strange when i did mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom i got the error message in terminal, but when i when to storage device the cd was mounted and i can see the tunes and play them with noatun.

Both the dvdrw and cd-r are written to.......

I have a question. i was able to do mount -t /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom to get my cd-r and dvd-rw to mount in slackware. after i umount and put the cd or the dvd back in the drive it mounted automatically is this suppose to happen. i didnt make any changes to my mtab. i was told that i would have to do maual mount in slackware.
