Mandrake 9 supermount problem

pculler · 10-24-2002, 06:07 AM

When I am using supermount it seems to work fine, but I've a little problem cause it seems to work only for a while, ex: when i mount a cd with mp3 y start to listen to a few songs and the rest of the cd start to dissapear until it goes empty, only i can access to a few files and then the cd shows no content. When i try to do ls from console i get 'no such file' in every directory name and there is no file.
Someone know how to fix that??...
Thanx...

I thought mandy got rid of supermount...

my opinion is switching supermount off is much better, just mount and umount your cd manually is the easiest way ..supermount is the buggiest thing I've seen.

No, Mandy still ship with Supermount enabled by default, even in Mandy 9.0.

Have you tried disabling supermount? Do you still get the same problem?

Supermount was broken in MDK 8.1 and was fixed in 8.2 -- and works very well there. I haven't seen any problem like the one described here in any other forum. Wish I had the answer, but maybe a search in some other fora might show it -- or a google.com/linux search.

Even though this is an old thread, I am having the exact same problem. Can anyone tell me exactly HOW to shutoff supermount permanently?

supermount -i disable (done as root) should do the trick.
