Re: OT free mags
Lets look at this from a different angle. If I advertise in a magazine to sell a product or service I dont really care,(with some exceptions), who buys me. The magazines are free because they reach a VERY large audiance, the ads pay for the magazine. Advertisers go for the best bang for the buck. The publishers needs readers. Many who work are consultants of some type, free lancers who have realtime jobs and do the rest on the side. Does the publisher care? Does the advertiser care? Call yourself a consultant, after all, don't you help people, answer their questions, make recomendations? Aren't those people expecting the very best answer possible from you? You owe it to those who you consult for to give them the best possible solution to their problem. The advertiser/vendor wants it to be their product/service. It is a sybiotic relationship.

Cannot mount CD drives with a CD-Writer present
Hello!Does anybodyhave any idea why I cannot mount any of my CD drives under Red Hat Linux 7.2? One of them is a TEAC writer. Of course, it comes under the SCSI adaptor emulation treatment.

I discovered that the "mount" command doesn't find any of the devices: /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrom1, /dev/scd0, etc. I just installed the system, so I didn't tamper with the initial settings.

The syntax is: mount -t filesystemtype /dev/hd? /mnt/mountpoint. You can't use fstab as a filesystem type. It's a configuration file. Substitute sd for hd if you're using SCSI drives. Mount -t vfat /dev/cdrom /mnt/dev get /dev not a block device. Is there really an entry in your /mnt directory called dev? Or is it actually /mnt/cdrom?

If I go to free disk under the system menu the cdroms are listed as /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom1 with a mount point of /mnt/cdrom and a driver of iso9660. You're confusing a filesystem type and a driver (better known as a module in linux) iso9660, vfat, ext2, xfs, etc. are filesystem types. You see these when you issue the mount command by itself. i82365,soundcore, 3c59x, are modules (drivers). You see these when you issue the lsmod command by itself. What is the output of dmesg | grep hd and your /etc/fstab? From mine: [root@charliebrown /root]# dmesg | grep hd ide0: BM-DMA at 0x0860-0x0867, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x0868-0x086f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: IBM-DCXA-21, ATA DISK drive hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2202, ATAPI CDROM drive hda: IBM-DCXA-21, 9590MB w/420kB Cache, CHS=1222/255/63, UDMA hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 As you can see, hdc is my cdrom drive. So it would be mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom The relevant entry in /etc/fstab shows: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0 So what's /dev/cdrom linked to? [root@charliebrown /root]# ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root8 Mar 30 2000 /dev/cdrom - /dev/hdc So /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdc, and /etc/fstab shows /dev/cdrom's mountpoint is /mnt/cdrom. So the cd is mountable as /mnt/cdrom. snip It should really be as simple as making sure there's a readable cd in the drive and doing a mount /mnt/cdrom Or even mount -t iso9660 /dev/hd? /mnt/cdrom though iso9660 is the default for cdroms.

Basically, the spammer hijacks the mail server or just sends large amount of mail to the business everyday. Is this a special problem just for silly people?
