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.
was fixed, but I've just seen it under beta3, so maybe not...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 ?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.
