problem in mounting cdrom(audio files running but not reading data files)
(using ubuntu fiesty fawn)
I wouldn't exactly say that the problem i am having is in mounting the cd. I am able to mount the cd and i am able to play audio files but i am not able to read Data files . Please tell me what could be the reason for this? |
What command do you use to mount the data cd?
Did you make the data cd yourself? If so, what command did you use to make the cd? |
Also, what does your /etc/fstab look like?

well i use mount /media/cdrom.. (in a general scenario it should be mounted automatically)
yes i made the data disk myself , i have read from it earlier and also checked it out on some other machine ... --my /etc/fstab looks like: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda1 UUID=ff89e892-8820-4513-b830-8da56e05585d / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda5 UUID=962ddb3b-59d9-4e34-b5a7-ad7ca0a0193d none swap sw 0 0 #/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 --my /etc/mtab looks like /dev/hda1 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 /sys /sys sysfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 varrun /var/run tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755 0 0 varlock /var/lock tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777 0 0 procbususb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,mode=0755 0 0 devshm /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 lrm /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/volatile tmpfs rw 0 0 binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 |
According to your mtab listing, the cdrom is not mounted. So you are reading the contents of the directory instead, which is empty.

--for an audio disk my mount gives the following result
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) /sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755) varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) /dev/hdb on /media/mp 3 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,utf8) obviously different from /etc/mtab when a data disk is inserted , how is that possible?? i don't get it... |
Add an entry to /etc/fstab for your cd drive:
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom iso9660 defaults,users,ro,noauto 0 0 |
well it worked but still i have a few questions
1. why should one give noauto?? 2. well it is dvd reader actually and i have a few dvds it is still not able to read... i tried mounting it by specifying udf file system but still it was no use ... what all filesystem types are possible on dvds and how should i specify more than one file system in /etc/fstab |
