Imagine being able to rip a CD without using cdparanoia. The module tends to choke on bad disks however, which can have the unfortunate consequence of locking your cdrom drive until the next reboot. > > Also, can I have 2 entries for /cdrom? > > I don't believe so (it'd make 'mount /cdrom' ambiguous). Yes. But you can have two entries for /dev/cdrom. You can have fstab entries like these: /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /audiocd cdfs defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 mount /cdrom gives you your data cd; mount /audiocd lets you mount (courtesy of cdfs) your audio CD.
