I have installed Mandrake 9.0 last week and I have been running into problems with both of my cdrom players. The symptoms are as follow:
-Mounting the cdrom automatically works well. -ls gives the files list as it should. -copying all of the files present on the CD gives the following result: The first file copies without problem, in the case of a multifile CD. The following files seem to disappear from the CD, giving out a message like "file not found", although it was listed the fisrt time ls was used. - subsequent ls will list the first file and return errors for the next ones. On a CD containing a large tar file (for example), the file is listed correctly BUT copying this file to a hard disk corrupts its. I have disabled the supermount feature (in mtab and fstab) and reconfigured the cdrom players to be mounted manually. All of the previous symptoms have disapeared: -All files are now accesible. -No more corruption occurs. It is quite strange that such a bug was not picked up before today... Although my hardware might be flakey since that last thunderstorm ;) The cure to my problem was to disable supermount. Anyone encountering that type of problem should do likewise until this issue has been fixed...
