F7 Problem with automount and cdrom drive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've fixed most of the little problems on this fresh install of Fedora 7, but 
am left with 2 that I'm having problems with.

I'm getting lots of output from running tailf /var/log/messages as root, as 
below.

# tailf /var/log/messages

mode. New PID=2475.

On the previous run of tailf /var/log/messages there was a pid about these 
"sr0: CDROM not ready" messages, which identified "automount", and the man 
page for it sent me to /etc/auto.misc, which shows the following.

# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $
#
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage

cd  -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom

# the following entries are samples to pique your imagination
#linux  -ro,soft,intr  ftp.example.org:/pub/linux
#boot  -fstype=ext2  :/dev/hda1
#floppy  -fstype=auto  :/dev/fd0
#floppy  -fstype=ext2  :/dev/fd0
#e2floppy -fstype=ext2  :/dev/fd0
#jaz  -fstype=ext2  :/dev/sdc1
#removable -fstype=ext2  :/dev/hdd

It looks like I can just comment out the "cd" line above, and the problem will 
be resolved, but I don't understand why the message line above mentions "sr0: 
CDROM not ready".  If "sr0" is referencing a block device, no such one 
exists. The one for the cddrive is "scd0", and there are a bunch of links 
pointing to it.  The cddrive is a CDRW/DVD one, and music cd's play ok with 
Kscd, and Kscd as default is pointing to /dev/cdrom, which points 
to /dev/scd0.

The question is:

Why does "sr0" appear to be tied in with the CDROM drive, resulting in all 
thes messages (one per second)?

I've booted with both kernels (not the xen ones), with the same results.
$ uname -r
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7  (the currently booted one)
and
2.6.21-1.3194.fc7  (the one installed from the install cdroms)

For the 1st time on a Fedora install I've left selinux running per default 
"Enforcing", just to see how it goes, and don't want to just disable it, if 
the above problem has nothing to do with selinux.

Any observations, suggestions would be very welcome.

Nigel.

btw: This is problem 1, and the other one will follow if I can't resolve it.
