 Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2003 8:56 am Post subject: need some help with fstab |
 |
|
I've been running gentoo for a little while and am getting everything set up. I have a dvd and a cdrw but neither are listed in fstab. I want to begin setting up my cdrw to burn cd's and my dvd to play dvd's with mplayer. So, here is my current fstab:
| Code: |
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda8 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda10 / ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/hda11 /home ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/hda9 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat noauto,users 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
|
Can someone look at this an suggest how I need to change this to make it work with my drives. As it is now, both drives work as cdroms. Also, I have 1 ntsf partition and 1 fat32 partition; /dev/hda6 /dev/hda7 respectively. How should I list these so that I can mount them as well? I know my kernel is set up right to mount these, I just need to know how to do so.
Thanks!

The DVD and CDRW issue is slightly more complicated than a simple fstab thing... in order to view/play DVD's, you should just be able to point mplayer to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 (or 1, if that's your DVD drive). That's all I do... For the CDRW, you need to set up SCSI emulation (i think). That's a process I'm not quite familiar with. Add the following two lines to fstab to get your two drives to work:
| Code: | /dev/hda6 /mnt/ntfs-drive ntfs noatime,ro
/dev/hda7 /mnt/fat32-drive vfat noatime |
I'm fairly sure the "<dump/pass>" section can be left out. I have no idea what it does. I leave it out.

For ntfs I would recommend, so you can view as a user not just root:
| Code: | /dev/sda1 /mnt/xp ntfs user,umask=0,ro 0 0
|
There are quite a few posts about scsi emulation, I normally found that the small note in the installation guide would be enough to help me setup my cdrw  |

For this you need no changes to fstab.
For CD-Burning you need ide-scsi compiled in or as modules.
Try hdX=ide-scsi as kernel parameter in bootloader.
Then - "cdrecord --scanbus".
For DVD playing using mplayer just try:
mplayer -dvd 1
(you may need to set up you device (which of cdrom's
is DVD-rom - see man)
