"ls" and nautilus displays nothing but total 0 and MC displays an empty
folder. The DVD is mounted on /media/cdrecorder and the fstab entry is:
/dev/hdd  /media/cdrecorder auto
pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
Is anything wrong with that?

BTW, I am running kernel 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 I'll go back to the previous
version and see if that makes any difference.
