Re: Can't mount CD-ROM SOLVED!!

Ah... That's because music CDs are not written in ISO 9660 format. They are in Red Book Audio, which mount doesn't handle. (Why bother? There's no filesystem anyway...). cdplayer knows about audio, therefore it works. On Wed, 9 Aug 2000, Dale Morris wrote: > Well then, let me explain: I had

And what exactly makes you believe that it's okay to mount an audio CD? If it's a Windows or Macintosh machine - they have special drivers to make it appear that the CD is mounted. Cheers, Jason. --On Wednesday, August 9, 2000 4:15 -0700 Dale Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Well then, let

Well then, let me explain: I had a music cd in the drive. When I issued the command to mount, I got a wrong filesystem, bad block.. error message. But when I executed the program cdplayer, it scanned the cd and began playing it. Thus far, I haven't taken the time to dig up a linux cd and see if it
