My /dev/hdc is a symlink to /udev/hdc and /udev lists /hdc so that is loaded.Your DVD is being handled by supermount. What this is susposed to do is when a disk is inserted in the drive, it gets mounted automaticly.
Yet when I go : # mount /dev/hdc
or
# mount /udev/hdc
I get the above message
My fstab entry for this is:
none /mnt/dvd-rw supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,exec,--,umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,noatime,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
and I have tried:
none /mnt/dvd-rw supermount dev=/udev/hdc,fs=auto,exec,--,umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,noatime,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
so something is not working correctly:
I also have before this call:
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
Any ideas anyone ?
PS. Once I get the above resolved could someone tell what the " - - " in the mount options mean
and also
what the " none " at the beginning actual does and of course how is it over~ridden.
All the reading I have done hasn't explained these two points to me as yet.
The reasion you could not mount it using the device name is because you do not have a fstab entry that starts with /dev/hdc, and /dev/hdc is not a mount point used in an ftab entry. If you had tried "mount /mnt/dvd-rw" it probably would have worked.
One thig I am a bit puzzeled about it the /udev directory. What version of Mandrake are you using? Did you add udev yourself, or was it part of the install? Was this a fresh install, or an upgrage?
