When I mount /dev/cd0c I always get this in dmesg:

When I retry, it mounts. Do you know what the error messages mean and
why it is error? To me it looks like the OS should wait if the
unit is not
yet ready. What I can hear is that it is spinning up the disk slowly.
I don't know why slowly when it's a 50x or 48x speed drive or
something like
this, but it does.
Can I somehow determine the type of the drive? My dmesg is full of
these
messages:
uid 1000 on /: file system full
uid 1000 on /: file system full
uid 1000 on /: file system full
While I'm not sure about how to deal with the first problem (the
obvious
workaround is to run dd if=/dev/rcd0a of=/dev/null count=1 first, or
somesuch, but that's a workaround), the second is indicative of /
being
filled. Don't do that; not doing that is easier if /home is on a
different partition.

Could the first problem occur if the cd is being mounted while it is
still spinning up, i.e. if you attempt to mount immediately upon
inserting the cd? I could be reading too much into the error message
but that's what it looks like it might(tm) mean.
