when i try to mount an audio CD as a regular user I get the following:
root@home:/home/jb# mount /dev/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems

my fstab looks like this:
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb5 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdb6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdb3 /fat-common vfat uid=1001 1 0
/dev/hda8 /fat-music vfat uid=1001 1 0
/dev/hda7 /fat-docs vfat uid=1001 1 0
/dev/hda6 /fat-dwnld vfat uid=1001 1 0
/dev/hdb9 /back-music vfat uid=1001 1 0
/dev/hdb8 /back-doc vfat uid=1001 1 0
/dev/hdb7 /back-dwnld vfat uid=1001 1 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro,uid=1001 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

where uid=1001 is the user I use to access the CDROM and the fat partitions.

I can mount a data CD, but not the audio...now that I think about it I have never tiried to mount an audio CD until yesterday when my fiancee asked me to play one of her CD's!

Please help.

Thanks

You don't mount an audio CD. You just open your cd player and play it.

i tried this too...and it could not play.
it gives me the following error:
CD-ROM read or access error (or no audio disc in drive).
Please make sure you have access permissions to:
/dev/cdrom

Hmm, the user is listed, but it doesn't want to play. Can you play as root?

RO

yes, I can play when logged into root.

I figured it out.

I added my user to the disk group and that was it!

I'm not sure if this is a security risk, but I will live with it for now...unless you or someone else tells me different.

Thanks for your help.

I don't think so, as long as user 1001 has a good password.
Glad you sorted it out.
