 Posted: Sun Oct 12, 2003 2:23 pm Post subject: Newbie needs help with mounting CDROMs |
 |
|
I have 2 cdrom drives that I would like to get mounted at boot. HDC is a cdrw and HDD is a DVD drive. I've edited my fstab file from what information I could find on the subject but it isn't working. Where do I need to start, what do I need to do, what information do I need to give you in order to get help?
Here is my fstsb after several modifications...
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime,notail 1 1
/dev/hdb3 / reiserfs noatime,notail 0 0
/dev/hdb2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0

hi,
why would you like to mount them at boot time?
at first you have to create one mount for every cd-drive. using /mnt/cdrom for both won't work. if you really want them to be mounted at boot you have to remove the 'noauto' option.
perhaps you will run into issues with you cdrw device if not using kernel 2.5 or above. ATAPI burning isn't supported in 2.4 series. you will need scsi-emulation enabled in kernel. search the forum for instructions for ide-scsi...

Thats not quite true. I have a 2.4 kernel and ATAPI burning works fine (as long as you are prepared to use command line tools, not gui stuff - although I've never taken the time to get the gui stuff working with scsi emulation either).
