If it is a CD-RW that has been used and not closed as CD-R then it is a UDF filesystem and mounting it as iso9660 will not work. My fstab has options for iso9660 or UDF for each CDROM drive I have. When I insert a CD it automounts the disk in either drive. You should be able to mount a cdrom by using "mount /mnt/cdrom" without the options or device as long as the line is in fstab. > regards, > John > > _________________________________________________________________ > Tired of spam?
