Probably retrieving the disc type from the drive fails (which is known to happen on some drives). Thoggen should be able to cope with this though. For example if the disc type is unknown, but if it's block.storage_device can handle dvd's, then assume it's a dvd (or maybe fall back to the fs type, if it's a dvd it will be udf iirc) Sjoerd -- Fundamentally, there may be no basis for anything. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
