dvd drive not accesible on suse 9.2
 
Hi,

I am using Suse 9.2 on a Pentium 4 with 1gig of ram.
I just installed 9.2 and my dvd drive and my cd recorder stopped working. Whenever I try to access them, nothing happens. I can't unmount them or mount them, I just get an error saying that the drive is already mounted.

here is some additional information:
# mount -v
/dev/hdc4 on / type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5)
/dev/hdc1 on /windows/C type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,gid=100,umask=0002,nls=utf8)
/dev/hdd1 on /windows/D type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,gid=100,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8)
/dev/hda on /media/dvd type subfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=cdfss,procuid,iocharset=utf8)
/dev/hdb on /media/cdrecorder type subfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=cdfss,procuid,iocharset=utf8)

#cat /etc/fstab

/dev/hdc3 swap swap pri=42 0 0

/dev/hdb /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

any help will be appreciated.

For some reason it looks like SuSE has mounted one of your hard drives to the DVD mount place, try adding another folder called DVD2 to the /media folder and add a line in your /etc/fstab that looks like

/dev/dvd /media/dvd2 subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid, nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

or if you have a combo drive add:

/dev/cdrecorder /media/dvd2 subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid, nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

Then try to mount the disk.

I don't think that is it. /dev/dvd is a just a link to /dev/hda, so it should not make a difference.

You could try to mount the classical way (avoid subfs).

HenchmenResourc has a good point: if hda and hdb are your disc drives, they are on the first IDE controler?! This is rather unusual, but maybe not the problem. Does /dev/cdrecorder points to /dev/hdb?

zynek 03-01-2005 11:57 AM

you are right that is pretty unusual, I did nto think about it.
switching the cable should take care of this.

yes the cdrecorder is /dev/hdb.

abisko00 03-01-2005 12:05 PM

How do you try to acces the drives? Do you use the icons on yor desktop? Maybe they point to the devicelinks (dvd/cdrecorder) instead of the devices (hda/hdb).

HenchmenResourc 03-01-2005 12:45 PM

Ok I just checked my harware info on my system (YaST --> Hardware --> Hardware Info) and it lists my DVD drive as /dev/hdc but in my fstab it is listed as /dev/dvd. So I would try changing your fstab to point to /dev/dvd as this may be a pointer that tells the system to treat the device located at /dev/hda as an optical drive.

If you change that and it doesn't work change it back and let us know.

zynek 03-01-2005 02:00 PM

Ok, it works now. I changed the cable so the hard disks sit on the first controller. Also I changed the /dev/hda to /dev/dvd

thanks,
Gregor
