cd drive

[weapon]

I am having trouble with my cd-burner drive, it is a asus model and fairly new (52x32x52x). anyway it is having problems reading & ejecting \ unmounting, i have had to force an eject & unmount at times because it refused to eject & unmount, i can read the cd-rom normaly but low level read do not work, i have tried ripping cd's with grip (both cdparanoia & cdda2wav) and this has failed, also i have burned a cd which failed the verify, (it burned ok and had no errors just the verify of K3b did not work)

here is my fstab

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom user,udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
your line is could be wrong so try this one:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

Notice the user word is not in my fstab.

I did eventualy find the problem, i had to turn off the automounter as i could rip any audio cd's as long as they did not create a data track, because when they are inserted they are mounted, but cdparanoia and cdda2wav want direct access to the device

Great....now in you fstab i see this line: /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash auto user,noauto,owner 0 0 BUT if you use this line you will be able to read and write in your usb flash drive:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash vfat noauto,users,rw,umask=0 0 0
also take out the "auto" you dont need it.

Do you have automatic updates set up? There was an update to udev on Monday that fixes this bug.
$ rpm -q --changelog udev
* Mon Dec 06 2004 Harald Hoyer <harald@redhat.com> - 039-10.FC3.5

- fixed udev.rules for cdrom symlinks (bug 141897)
