CD\DVD mounting strangeness
 

Fstab line is: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=utf8,ro,exec 0 0

This works fine for CD's, but whenever i try to mount a DVD i get a "no medium found" error.
However, and this is where the strangeness begins. If i delete the above line from fstab, so that there is NO reference to any CD or DVD device, KDE mounts DVD's and CD's automatically. This would be fine, except that programs such as cedega need a game disk mounted to play if i don't have a nocd crack, and if i click mount in cedegas GUI it says no CD device can be found on my system since there is no line in Fstab referencing it. Also, on occasion, when the above line is enabled, when my computer boots i get a '/dev/hdc does not exist' error but there is an hdc file in /dev.

Any ideas? I suppose what im after is what should i change in Fstab so that DVD's work as well as CD's? Ive tried changing the filesystem type to iso9660 but that didn't help. I've tried users instead of user, and I've tried changing the mountpoint to /mnt/cdrom1, also with no luck.

could try changing "auto" to udef,iso9660. at least I think that works in mandriva so it would read:

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom udef,iso9660 umask=0,user,iocharset=utf8,ro,exec 0 0

hope that helps :)

Ill give it a shot, thanks for the idea whether it works or not.
