Hi The problem is this. When I try to mount a dvd as a user using type udf the device mounts but trying to list the contents of the disk produces a permission denied error. Mounting the device as a user using type iso9660 and I have proper permissions to read the files. No problem with mounting as udf or iso9660 if I am root. when the drive is mounted as iso9660 then ls -l /mnt dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Mar 2 12:00 cdrom trying to list the contents of the dvd ls -l /mnt/cdrom -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 15067136 Feb 20 12:53 vanian~1.tar ------------------ when the drive is mounted as auto or udf then ls -l /mnt dr--r--r-- 2 4294967295 4294967295 132 Mar 3 00:00 cdrom Trying to list the contents of the dvd ls -l /mnt/cdrom ls: /mnt/cdrom/VANIAN_VBM_02202004-1.tar: Permission denied ------------------ Why should the permissions change depending on the mount type????? ------------------------------------------------ Here are the details of my setup: Redhat 8.0, kernel-2.4.20-28.8, Teac combo drive (DV-W58E) CD-R/DVD+R/RW. I know the drive is working fine because I took it out, installed it in a windows machine and it recognized and burned a dvd just fine. Here is some system info: /etc/grub.conf contains the line kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-28.8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi /etc/fstab contains the lines /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/dvd /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user,kudzu,ro 0 0 if I want to mount the dvd as iso9660 then i just change fstab to read. /dev/dvd /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu,ro 0 0 ls -l /dev/dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 3 09:11 /dev/dvd -> /dev/scd0 ls -l /dev/scd0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 11, 0 Aug 30 2002 /dev/scd0 When the drive is not mounted then ls -l /mnt drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Mar 2 18:59 cdrom I've run out of things to try. Any suggestions, Thanks, Darren __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
