CDROM / fstab question

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

 



After I installed RH 8 I was very impressed.  Unfortunately, things have not stayed rosy.  Sound was the first thing to stop working, now whenever I reboot the computer I have to jump through all sorts of hoops to be able to mount a CD.  

With not modification the message I get is something like:

"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted filesystems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)"

This usually involves editing the" fstab" file (which get overwritten on reboot) from:

/dev/cdrom	/mnt/cdrom	iso9660	noauto,owner,kudzu,ro	0	0

to

/dev/cdrom	/mnt/cdrom	iso9660	noauto,user,kudzu,ro	0	0

I then have to deal with the link to the device.  On checking I found that "/dev/cdrom" was pointing to "/dev/hdc". This is reset each time I reboot so I have to delete the old link and created a new link "dev/cdrom" pointing to "/dev/scd0".

I can then mount the CD ROM.  What am I missing?  Are there some configuration settings that need to be changed?

Any help in pointing me in the right direction will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks!
