Ok,
I made the jump into linux again via Slackware 9. I managed to get most of my problems sloved by RTFM method, but this had me stumped. I have a Digital Camera (Sony Mavica CD-200) which is essentially a 8x 8x cdrw that I want to link using the USB port. What is the Mount command ???
According to the syslog, the device is there, and on the scsi1,
But a similar command or fstab entry for the device will not mount.

SYSLOG:

Thanks for any help in advance,

Try using the devices /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1 to mount the devices. For burning support see if "cdrecord -scanbus" reports the devices as available and device numbers to identify to burn with.

You might also want to see if a module usb-storage is loaded, my system also has sbp2 loaded but I think that is for Firewire storage devices. My Sony memory stick comes in a scsi device and is mounted as the device /dev/sda1 like a scsi hard disk.

I think I found the problem. Seems that you can't "Mount " open session CDR media (Under KDE ). I closed the session on the Camera, and placed the disk in my CDRW drive. I could read the contents. If I place a Blank CD or one that has information on it, but the current session is not closed in either burner. The mount command throws back - wrong FS type, bad option, superblock, etc.


cdrecord - scanbus reports both drives one on scd1 and the other on scd0.


Didn't I read that we don't have support for open session cd's yet?


Thanks again,

DK
