That would explain but according to my fstab file both should be mount as iso9660 type; my x-86 system had entry (showing file in CAP LETTERS): /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 my amd64 fstab entry (showing all small letters): /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/cdrw udf /dev/hdc /mnt/dvdr iso9660 on amd64 is used: mount /dev/hdc /mnt/dvdr so it should be mounted as iso9660 the same line x86-system. > I used to rip DVDs and CDs using dd w/ conv=noerror.
