mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
Hi
Everytime I try to access the cdrom I keep getting this error, the floppy open but I can't see anything on it, its empty:
this is the error i get when clicking on the cdrom icon:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
when I type :
# mount
I get this
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /usr/local type ext2 (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/fd0 on /mnt/floppy type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev)
What is the output of the command
ls -l /dev/cdrom
Here is mine
[kens@mybox kens]$ ls /dev/cdrom -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 20 13:36 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
This means it points the CDrom device at a emulated scsi device which is the actual CD-Rom device. A common practice.
Right after you reboot the machine what is the output of the dmesg command and is there anything in there about the CDrom?
What distribution are you running?
Have you tried running briefly off of a live-CD (MEPIS, KNOPPIX etc.) to see if that distro sees your CD rom ok.
If so, how does it refer to the CD in these commands?
hi, i dont use audio cd but i got simillar problem. whenever i mount my cd, i got some message :
/dev/hdb: Input/output error
mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only
dev/hdb: Input/output error
mount: can't read superblock
yes right, fstab set my cdrom as read only, but i think its no matter.
however, my friend use the same device, the same fedora core 3 OS, and the same fstab configuration on his computer, but he got no problem with his cdrom
I have the same problem when I try to mount a Fat32 partition.
Peter:/home/pedro# mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/Programas/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
