 Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2004 7:13 pm Post subject: CD/DVD drive woes |
 |
|
Okay, my dvd/cdrom drives are infuriating me. My head is getting sore from slamming it on the keyboard so many times:)
Okay first off, my fstab:
| Code: |
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.14 2003/10/13 20$
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> $
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hdc1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime $
/dev/hdc3 / xfs noatime $
/dev/hdc2 none swap sw $
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd auto noauto,ro $
0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user $
|
Okay, first annoyance i guess is that i have never been able to umount anything. It always says the device is busy, but nothing is using it and i am not residing in its folder. Using the -f option worked a few times but not anymore. Second annoyance is all the errors are fucking unpredicatable. I cant seem to find a pattern. Third would be starting this morning i cant mount anything. It keep saying "you must specify the filesystem" even when i do (ie. mount -iso9660 /mnt/dvd) and mount auto /mnt/dvd or even mount -auto /mnt/dvd just give me usage errors.
I have tried mounting straight from the device (in this case hda and hdb instead of from /dev/cdroms. still no go.
This was happening in the 2.4 kerenl so i upgraded to 2.6 with udev hopeing it would fix it, but frankly i dont know anything about udev and i keep seeing the words devfs when the kernel boots up. so i dont know if udev is working or what.
Frankly, this unpredictabily is pissing me off and i'm about to break something. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

you can use lsof to see what is using the device
you also have to use -t iso9660 not -iso9660
udev only creates files that represent devices and has no influence on anything like this

Well your fstab looks good. I would add "user" to noauto,ro.
As for unmounting, I found that you cannot have an explorer window open, such as Konquorer or Nautilus, even having bash open will stop a umount. Close all your windows, then try umounting, if that doesnt work then I am at a loss...
You need to recompile your kernel and remove devfs from it. Then simply emerge udev, you dont need hotplug just hotplug-base which gets emerged with it. |

I can't get mounting to work correctly, it used to work fine... here's the ouput: | Code: | ten-4 root # mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /mnt/dvdrom
mount: block device /dev/hda is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda,
or too many mounted file systems |
And my fstab: | Code: | # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hdb1 /boot reiserfs notail $
/dev/hdb3 / reiserfs noatime $
/dev/hdb2 none swap sw $
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro $
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto |
Ideas? I'm almost sure it's a stupid error.

Here's the dmesg error: | Code: | hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: packet command error: error=0x50
ide: failed opcode was 100
cdrom: failed setting lba address space
hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: command error: error=0x50
ide: failed opcode was 100
end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 64
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=hda, iso_blknum=16, block=16 |
And from way up in the dmesg, drive is seen as: | Code: | Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: 16X52X32X52COMBO, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive |

Nope, it's a Rosewill, from the Newegg Invoice: CDRW DVD COMBO ROSEWILL C523216B RT
(Serial#: 898745000368)
It worked in Windows and for installing... any other information you might need? Do I need SCSI emulation?

Now works in XMMS with Digital Audio Extraction option selected in the CD reader config.
Damn... I see a lot of Bill Gates here.
Edit several weeks later: The problem is back, I can't figure it out for the life of me. The first time I tried mounting a data CD today, it worked. I tried again a few minutes later with something else and I got the error i described above!!! grr...
Edit2: A different CD worked fine, I'm confused. Ignore this.
