Re: [gentoo-user] CDRW trouble: can't read superblock
That's why I keep my soft pen always near my CDRWs and CDRs! I even got a special one that is thin and so I write a complete description instead of "Audio 1" or "Data 2" *lol* Don't tell anyone, but once I spent 2 hours looking for a backup CD for my boss (had to bring all CDs home to check each one), the damn one was labeled "RD 001", then I discovered that means "Recover Data".

I guess I should try to mount it, if that fails, try to play it, if that fails I've got bad data? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] CDRW trouble: can't read superblock
> cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdc -audio -pad *.wav You cannot mount audio cd's under normal circumstances (there are some exceptions to this general rule, but you normally have to install stuff in order to get that functionality). In the case where you mentioned that you could mount an audio cd, I would bet it was a multimode cd that had data and audio tracks; the audio is used by the cd player and the data tracks are used by the mount/iso 9660 filesystem. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It's not a regular filesystem and there isn't a driver to mount them with.You can copy them with cdrdao, rip them with cdparanoia, play them with xmms-cdread, etc... Zac __ Yahoo!

[gentoo-user] CDRW trouble: can't read superblock
