Hi... I had a problem with "mount" not waiting for the drive to recognize a DVD. Someone on a local mailing list pointed me to a patch from this list (http://osdir.com/ml/linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/2008-06/msg00008.html). I applied it and it worked. So I'd like to suggest that some variation on this patch be included in the next version of mount (it wasn't). The patch itself has one problem: If you specify mounting with a file system type of "auto", and the drive still is in the process of recognizing the disk, it won't work--it immediately returns and says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". It should wait to detect the file system type just like it waits to do the mount. I'd also suggest retries a bit more frequently, maybe every 1 second. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
