Can't mount cdrom
 

When I mount the cdrom , it pop the error , please advise what is the reason ? thx.

# mount /dev/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

Post your fstab and I (we)'ll help you sort it out

(/etc/fstab)

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
#LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2

LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2

Hello,

You used the wrong syntax, that's:
#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
or
#mount /mnt/cdrom

thx reply ,

but still not work , could suggest what is wront ? thx

# mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

Where is your CD-ROM on your IDE devices (primary slave, secondary master or secondary slave)?

Try this:
mkdir /mnt/cd
mount /dev/hdb (for primary slave) /mnt/cd
mount /dev/hdc (for secondary master) /mnt/cd
mount /dev/hdd (for secondary slave) /mnt/cd

Diablo111 is right: /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/hdc (or hdd...). So check if the symlink is OK.
To find if your cdrom is on hdc or hdd, you can also have a look at /proc/ide/hdc/media (or /proc/ide/hdd/media)

So I turn my back a second and you guys go (almost) and solve the problem... Keep it going ;)

got the same prob here
 

Hey guys,

thx already for all the interesting replies to this topic. I've been using all your knowledge, but I still was not able to mount my cdrom.

some info:

system: Debian
kernel: 2.4.26-1-k7
cdrom = hdc (checked using the info in this discussion)


the error message after #mount /mnt/cdrom is slightly different than my fellow here:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

the difference is the fact that my system addresses my cdrom as /dev/hdc in the error message. But I think the actual problem will be exactly the same.

Thx for any suggestions!

What boot loader are you using? Is there a hdc=ide-scsi boot parameter?
Do you have a CD burner installed in this PC?

You might have to change permissions on /dev/hdc. Something like chmod a+rw /dev/hdc might do the trick.

I would suggest following the advice of the error message :)

mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0(or 1) /mnt/cdrom

thank you all! Problem solved here!

The trick I needed was charliecron's

I just changed /dev/hdc to /dev/sr0 in my fstab file, and now everythin works (of course I had to recreate the icons on my desktop as well).

cheers
