Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I would like to be able to mount data blu-ray discs on my Slackware 13.0 computer. Not view blu-ray movies, just read the data blu-ray discs I have burned. I would like to be able to mount then in console mode, I don't want to need XWindows to see content of my discs. When I try to mount a blu-ray discs I get that error message:
Code:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
It work perfectly when I try to mount a normal DVD.
Here is my fstab file:
Code:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/sr0 .
I don't know if udf support is enabled in the slackware 13.0 default kernel, but the udf module is not loaded. When I try to load it I get that error message:
Log out of KDE and try modprobing the udf module again from a virtual terminal. If it fails try "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages". The kernel messages may provide more precise information on what the problem is.
Also try modprobing UDF before inserting a disc in the drive.
Sorry if it took a long time to respond, I had to reinstall all my Linux system because I changed my hard drive. Also I installed the latest version of the kernel, 2.6.32.2 to see if that could help with my blu-ray problem... I made sure to include UDF support in the kernel before compiling, but my blu-ray discs don't mount even with the new kernel... Normal DVD's work fine...
I tried "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" and it doesn't show anything about UDF of blu-ray or CD-ROM...
I think I found the cause of the problem. I googled a little bit and I found out that Blu-Ray discs use UDF version 2.50 and BD-R (Recordable blu-ray) uses UDF 2.60. I tried to mount a movie Blu-Ray disc that I bought and it worked. I then did some more googling and apparently UDF 2.60 isn't supported by the Linux kernel yet. OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD support it. So I think I just have to wait until the Linux kernel support it, since many other opensource operating system have support for it it shouldn't be too long...
