CDRom not mounting F8

joebrueske · #1 25th July 2008, 03:41 AM

For some reason or another all of my physical drives and partitions (including the Windows partitions) are mounted within Fedora 8. My Sony DVD burner however is not. I found this link and as root I performed the following command

Code:

dmesg |grep DVD

and got

Code:

ata1.01: ATAPI: SONY    DVD RW DRU-800A, KY01, max UDMA/66
scsi 0:0:1:0: CD-ROM            SONY     DVD RW DRU-800A  KY01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

So, it's there, it's just not mounted. It does not appear in the fstab file:

Code:

LABEL=/                 /                       ext2    defaults        1 1
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sdc9         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

I followed the instructions up to the point when it told me to enter

Code:

ls -ltr |grep cdrom

However, nothing was echoed back to me.

What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix this?

Thank you!

Is there a disk in the drive? CDs/DVDs automount when a disk is inserted. There is no entry in fstab any more.

Do this instead - the instruction should have told you to cd /dev or something.

ls -l /dev/*cd*

Alright, here is the print out for the devices that came up from the command you gave me

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-07-24 19:56 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-07-24 19:56 /dev/cdrw -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-07-24 19:56 /dev/scd0 -> sr0

Then the following was entered

Code:

mkdir cdrom
mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom
df -h /cdrom

And thankfully I got the following print out

Code:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sr0              3.2G  3.2G     0 100% /cdrom

Thank you for the correction to that instruction. Now, to figure out how to get the drive recognized by Nero.

Eh, never mind. I just opened the files to in the default CD/DVD creator

> left click
> open with "CD/DVD Creator"

for those of you who were wondering.

I use the built-in CD/DVD tools also, but I also have Brasero:

yum install brasero
