I can't mount any CD/DVD discs


I use prief and full command:

Quote:
mount /dev/hdc

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
I tried /dev/cdrom instead of /dev/hdc but same problem.

my /etc/fstab entry like this:
Quote:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,exec,ro,umask=0 0 0
Error message:
Code:
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
	             dmesg | tail  or so

do this:

'dmesg -c'
insert a formatted CD/DVD that has a valid file system on it.
wait 30 seconds
'dmesg' - and paste the output

Just out of sheer curiosity, and the thing that you don't mention in your initial post; what kind of cd-rom/dvd are you trying to mount exactly.

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# dmesg -c
After I did what you told me, and I tried to mount it by mount command:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# dmesg
attempt to access beyond end of device
hdc: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=hdc, iso_blknum=16, block=16
same tree lines has been repeated after every try.

So, you say you can't mount ANY CD/DVD, but what kinds have you tried so far ?

I think this may be useful:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/.../msg02866.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/.../msg02929.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/.../msg03035.html

so basically disable DMA:
Code:
hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc
I would check the cables and make sure they are connected and intact, because it sucks to have to disable DMA.

Thank you,
After disabling DMA by hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc I can mount CD-ROMs only but not DVDs.
It's a partly resolved, better than nothing, but I still wait for a final solution.

Just to add.

I think dvd's are udf format instead of iso9660:

mount -t udf /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

It's been a while since I mounted a dvd from the command line. You don't need to have it mounted to play it normally. For the simple mount tag to work you might need to manually specify iso9660,udf /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660,udf noauto,user,exec,ro,umask=0 0 0 in the fstab so the dvd's are easier to mount in the future.

Hope this helps.

No, I tried this many times and I got same fail message.
And I just use Data DVDs (specifically: Linux distros like Slackware 12.2 and Fedora 10 ..etc) not VideoDVDs or any kind of UDF data usage.
Thank you.

Hi alMubarmij,

When i recorded dvd's in k3b the same do not read in the Windows and vice-versa.

I find this site for you:

http://www.driversdown.com/drivers/21626.shtml

But i do not have ideia how upgrade your firmware in Linux. I make this procedure in the Windows.

But it's only a tip. WITH ME worked.

who is user a?

Hello

The following excerpt from your directory listing for /dev above:

Quote:
brw-rw----+ 1 a cdwriter 22, 0 Jan 25 21:13 hdc

made me wonder if you had a user "a" on your system, or a group "cdwriter"? In typical slackware installations, the optical media device is usually owned by user root and group cdrom; here's the output for my cdwriter which is hda on my system:

Code:
darkstar% ls -lah /dev/hda
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 3, 0 2009-02-22 10:02 /dev/hda

Perhaps the user you are logged in as doesn't have permission to use hdc.
