Are you trying to mount your CD-ROM as a FAT or VFAT filesystem? Nearly all CD-ROM's use the ISO9660 filesystem, and I have never encountered any disc that used anything else. Maybe you should mount it as mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom Modify your /etc/fstab accordingly. > Another question, have you encounter any problem backing-up more than > 20Gb of files using tar? Thats all, TIA! Not since large file support came into wide use. I've experienced problems on old versions of GNU/Linux and some older proprietary Unix systems with using tar to create archives greater than 4 gigs in size. -- It is *so* convenient to have a system where everyone is a criminal. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
