If you load a CD, often (but not always) attempts to reference
/mnt/cdrom will result in "Input/output error".  This seems to happen
under 8.2 supermount if you eject a currently mounted CD and load
another one, but I had it happen on beta3 with the first CD I loaded
after reboot.  In that case, I'm guessing that the CD filesystem wasn't
completely mounted by the time I tried an "ls", but the error persisted
long after the CD access should have been complete, and was returned
immediately, i.e. I don't think it was actually trying to read the drive
and getting an error.

Under beta3, if I did a umount and then a manual mount, it was OK.
Under 8.2, I have to reboot to clear the device.

Wish I could be more specific about what causes this.  Any diagnostic
suggestions ?

A little more on this.  I have a CDR and a CDRW.  It turns out that the CDR was deteriorating, and eventually wouldn't read anything.  I even booted Windows and verified that it couldn't see a disk.  After replacing the drive, supermount works fine with it.

Not so with the CDRW, which is using ide-scsi.  It works fine as a burner with cdrecord, but as far as using it as a CDR under supermount, I always get the error.  This happens under both 8.2 and 9.0beta4.
