Permission denied when I try to see the files on my CD ROM

riba43 · 10-09-2006, 02:11 AM

Hi,

I am trying to resolve the problem I have encountered recently. I insert CD ROM into drive and it is correctly recognised when I open My Computer. But when I try to see files on the CD I get the "Permission denied" message. How can I repair this??

RTFM!
man mount
(put umask=0444 in /etc/fstab)

Hi samotnik,

I put that into my fstab but it is not working. The same message appears when I try to see files on my CD.

Can you post the contents of your /etc/fstab file

riba43 · 10-09-2006, 06:40 AM

Here it is:

/dev/hda3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /windows/D vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0
/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/dvdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/dvd subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

I had the same problem with slackware 10.0 all I did was to add user to the fstab file and it allowed the current user to have permission to mount and read from the cd. You can add this to all the cd/dvd drive in the fstab file, place it before the noauto setting:

Code:

/dev/hdc             /media/dvdrecorder   subfs      user,noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/hdd             /media/dvd           subfs      user,noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

Hi fotoguy,

Thanks, I tried that but now I am getting the following error msg:

mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: unknown filesystem type 'subfs'

OK you need to have a blank line at the end of the file

Code:

/dev/hda3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /windows/D vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0
/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/dvdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/dvd subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
    <-- blank line here

Without the blank line it cannot read the last line properly

The blank line at the end, and change subfs to auto

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for your help. I tried what you proposed. But I always get error messages. So I search a bit in LQ an found the following:

Its the last lines you want to remove, specifcally /media/cdrom or whatever is the equivalent on your system.

At this point the auto mounter takes charge of the devices and mounts them when you put a disk in. ,

and it works. I do not need even to reboot.

OK glad to hear it all sorted out.
