alright, related to another post (but not the same!... though it might get answered there), here is my problem: i cannot mount my cdrw drive. here's what i get:
Code:
bash-3.00$ mount /dev/cdrom
/* right here is like a minute - minute and a half wait */
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified
bash-3.00$
alright, fair enough... and here is my fstab
Code:
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user,ro 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
oh, if you can help me out here on how to copy and paste, that'd be cool (i'm trying to just copy from the console emulator, i'm using slackware 10.2
anyways, yeah, i have no idea what the stuff in fstab even means... i know it sets default mount points, and mount options, but that's it.
well, trying to push through this problem, i do this one:
Code:
bash-3.00$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom
mount: only root can do that
right, so, i su
Code:
bash-3.00# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
missing codepage or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
no idea what to do. thanks for any help
