Hey just a simple issue i'm sure but i cannot mount my cdrw/dvd drive with an any audio cd. I get an error, no super block. Also there is no entry in /dev/ for cdroms/cdrom0 or cdrom, but i do have scd0 and hdd. It will mount data cd's with the command: | Code: | | # mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom |
any help would be appriciated! Thanks |

Hi,
Pure audio CDs don't have a ISO9660 filesystem on them, so you can't mount them without a patch AFAIK. You should be able to play them just fine though so long as you are a member of the right groups. |

Why? Why are you trying to mount it?

The entry is fine. It means your CD drive is attached to your second IDE channel as a slave drive.
The cdroms/cdrom0 is the way devfs use to call the device node. hdd is the real location. |

Hi,
I wouldn't bother looking for a patch unless you are really sure you need it. There is a plugin for xine or xmms (can't remember which) but I couldn't get it to work and just left it at that. `konqueror` in KDE will show you the raw tracks if you want them.
I think the /dev/scd0 /dev/hdd versus /dev/cdrom/cdrom0 problem is just a differene from udev versus devfs. You can make a symlink if you want. I also think /dev/scd0 is the SCSI device which you shouldn't need unless you have a SCSI card with a SCSI cdrom  .
EDIT: Doh, should have hit submit instead of preview |
