[ILUG] Combined DVD/CDRW

[Smith, Graham - Computing Technician]

It could well be to do with iso9660 - try something similar to this in
/etc/fstab:

/dev/scd0              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660	noauto	0 0

Are you using cd-r's that are multisession? In otherwords a cdr that has
not been fixated such that no more data can be put on it. I dont think
thats likely to be an issue, but try changing fstab for starters..

regards,

G.

Having a small problem.

Have a combo drive which is working fine under Windows XP and is also
picked up under Mandrake 8.1.

Linux will happily mount an audio or data CD but point blank refuses to
mount a CD-R with data on it citing 'wrong fstype bad superblock on
/dev/scd0'

The output of /etc/fstab is as follows:


/dev/hda6 / ext2 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

I can see no reference to an iso9660 nor any reference to /dev/hdc. Is
this necessary?

/etc/lilo.conf reads as follows:

image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label=linux
	root=/dev/hda6
	append=" hdc=ide-scsi devfs=mount quiet"
	vga=788
	read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label=linux-nonfb
	root=/dev/hda6
	append=" hdc=ide-scsi devfs=mount"
	read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label=failsafe
	root=/dev/hda6
	append=" hdc=ide-scsi devfs=mount failsafe"
	read-only
other=/dev/hda2
	label=NT
	table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/fd0
	label=floppy
	unsafe

The 'append' is there as I understood it should be from all the docs I
have read.

I have tried to burn to the CD-R and have received confirmation that all
was successful but then any attempt to mount the CD-R fails miserably.

Any assistance much appreciated.
