 |
|
My cdrom will not automount. I insert a cd and nothing, to eject I need run this
| Code: | | sudo eject /dev/hdc |
Here is my /etc/fstab
| Code: | rican-linux@ibookG4-gentoo ~ $ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# 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 / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
#/dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda4 / ext4 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,users,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
rican-linux@ibookG4-gentoo ~ $ |
here is some of my dmesg output
| Code: | rican-linux@ibookG4-gentoo ~ $ dmesg |grep hdc
[ 4.341737] hdc: DV-W28SLA, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
[ 4.677719] hdc: host max PIO4 wanted PIO255(auto-tune) selected PIO4
[ 4.677921] hdc: MWDMA2 mode selected
[ 4.780073] ide-cd: hdc: ATAPI 63X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 1419kB Cache
rican-linux@ibookG4-gentoo ~ $ |
Any thoughts? |

rican-linux,
The IDE /dev nodes have not been created for about four years.
That /dev/hdc still works for you dates your system.
Automount on cd insertion used to depend on the cd drive bing polled for media change events then running a helper in response to the event.

rican-linux,
You have two choices ...
Update your system, which will be a wonderful learning experience.
Find the old software for your old system. The ebuilds will be in the attic but finding the sources may be a problem.
If you are really really lucky, everything may alreay be installed. It might only need to be configured.

| I am sure I am missing something on the configuration side. This iBook G4 has ran Debian Jessie, Ubuntu-MATE 14.04 & 15.04, and Lubuntu 14.04 all of them auto mount was working. This is my first time working with Gentoo and I understand there is lot of setting it up yourself and I do not mind that, just need to know what to look for. |

rican-linux,
The setup is arch ihdependent. I always avoided automounting as I ned DVD+RW as big floppies and auto mounting kills them.
This post is about the right vintage but its little more than a guess.
I don't have PPC any more but I'm sure that when I did, it used the /dev/sd* nodes, even for IDE drives.
Its worth asking in #gentoo-powerpc on irc.freenode.net

rican-linux,
users in the fstab options allows any user to use the mount and umount commands.
For automounting, it should not make any difference. The modern udisks tool for auto mounting only works an devices not listed in tstab.
