Mounting Problems

Danimal · 12-26-2002, 01:36 PM

whenever I try to mount a cdrom it gives me an error that it is the incorrect superblock. can someone tell me what that means and/or how to fix it? I tried using the -t flag and I have tried music and data cds with no luck.

Well your never going to be able to mount Media cd's, data cd's are only mountable. What distro are you using ?

You can maybe try a depmod -a then try mounting.

What is the exact command your using when mounting ?

ok well I didn't know you guys had a BSD forum I but anyways I am using freeBSD and my command is

mount /dev/acd0c /cdrom

I'll happily move it if you want. Not totally for sure then, do you have a /cdrom directory that is empty that your trying to mount to ? And I assume your /dev/acd0c is the correct device ? I'm not totally for sure, not that familiar with BSD myself...

yeah there is a /cdrom directory I even made a /mnt/cdrom directory to try and it still didn't work. I have gotten this with all the Linux distros I have tried too like with Red Hat and OpenLinux.

also why can't linux mount music cds? how would you listen to cds then?

Well they aren't really formatted with a particular filesystem. What I mean by mount is to mount them and view them like your looking at files in a filesystem. When using media cd's, the program usually reads from them to play them.. etc.
