That's because the cdrw group is needed by udev "just-in-case" you have a cdrw drive.
I groupadded cdrw to make sure that I get no more complaints from udev. Then I tried mounting a data DVD but all I get is: $ mount /mnt/cdrom mount: No medium found
Is this the same DVD you wrote as before? Can you try writing a different DVD, or a different brand of media. Just write some random small files to it and try that. I'm thinking one of two possibilities here: 1. (unlikely) the 3GB file is confusing things, possibly only files up to 2GB are supported. Note that DVD movies usually split things up into 1GB chunks, probably for these kinds of issues. 2. (likely) your DVD ROM drive is not capable of reading some or all writeable media. Just because it can read a printed DVD, doesn't mean it can read a DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, or DVD-R-DL, etc... So you might try different types and different brands of media to see if you can find something it will read. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
