[ILUG] mount errors - solution (sort of)

Thanks for the responses, guys. 

I had tried /dev/scd0 but was still getting the same errors.

Eventually, the quick-and-simple solution was "eject" and "eject -t" for 
each DVD drive after dvdrecord. No problems mounting after that. 

OK, it's not the most elegant solution but it has to be better than 
"shutdown -r now" which is the point I was at before! 


Regards,

Liam

/dev/scd0 even. This is for "ide-scsi" devices at any rate. I believe
this is now deprecated in 2.6. 

I use a symlink for dvdplaying -> /dev/dvd [not sure if this applies for
dvdr's though. Some apps, ogle for example, read /dev/dvd so no mount
needed]
