Hello folks, I'm not sure if the solution to this problem has already been posted, so sorry if this is a known issue. I have searched Google and the Usenet for the answer of this question. I have 2 IDE-Drives, one of them is a Plextor CD-Writer. I have SCSI-Emulation enabled, ATAPI CDROM disabled, basically all the settings that you should have according to the various howtos. CD-Writing with the plextor works fine, data cds aswell as audio cds. But MOUNTING e.g. using the plextor drive for accessing data on cds does NOT work. I cannot mount it as a user nor as root. In fact the mount command sometimes says something about a bad superblock but sometimes it "mounts" the cdrom but when i change into the plextor directory and type ls, just random stuff is displayed.

The drive is mounted by asuzuki. these are the relevant entries of my /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdr /plextor iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdr is a link to /dev/scd0. Sometimes when I mount the drive in /plextor, and then try to change into that directory, it says that it is no directory, and all of a sudden ls / actually tries to tell me that /plextor is no longer a directory, but a file. When I umount the drive, the directory is back. During the mounting process, error messages are output which I can see by calling dmesg. ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 1 ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data ISOFS: changing to secondary root ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data I have seen a couple of mails in archives on the net, where the same question was asked, and nobody had an answer. Does anybody know what's going on here? BTW: some lines are more than 80 characters. I apologize for that. -- Alex Suzuki | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cynox.ch To send me an email, remove NOSPAM from the above address
