Encountered:

warhammer etc # mount /dev/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: No buffer space available

i googled and found a "no buffer space available".

followed suggestions on the thread:

warhammer etc # mount -va && df && mount -v /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/sda7 already mounted on /mnt/home1
mount: /dev/sda5 already mounted on /mnt/oldroot
mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted on /mnt/Movies
mount: /dev/sda2 already mounted on /mnt/windows2
mount: /dev/sda3 already mounted on /mnt/boot
mount: shm already mounted on /dev/shm
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/cdrom
I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/ filesystems
Trying #
Trying #vfat
Trying ext4dev

so i guess it was looking for a lot of fs, but the machine couldn't find the right one.
i dunno why.

my fstab:

/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom      auto            auto,users      0 0
#/dev/fd0               /mnt/floppy     auto            noauto          0 0
/dev/hda1               /               ext3            noatime         0 1
/dev/sda7               /mnt/home1      xfs             user            0 0
/dev/sda6               none            swap            sw              0 0
/dev/sda5               /mnt/oldroot    xfs             user            0 0
/dev/sda1               /mnt/Movies     xfs             user            0 0
/dev/sda2               /mnt/windows2   vfat            user            0 0
/dev/sda3               /mnt/boot       ext3            noatime         1 2
/dev/sdb                /mnt/ipod       hfsplus         noauto,user     0 0

so i changed /mnt/cdrom from auto to iso9660

and... everything works. no more "no buffer buffer space available" error after that.

my question is... is there a way to set it to auto and still it will pick up iso9660? or maybe i missed some setting on the kernel that needs to be set?

thanks.
