CDROM mounts always on 2nd attempt
When I mount /dev/cd0c I always get this in dmesg: cd0(atapiscsi0:0:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x0 SENSE KEY: Not Ready ASC/ASCQ: Logical Unit Is in Process Of Becoming Ready And this in application: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /mnt/cd mount_cd9660: /dev/cd0c on /mnt/cd: Input/output error When I retry, it mounts. Do you know what the error messages mean and why it is error? To me it looks like the OS should wait if the unit is not yet ready. What I can hear is that it is spinning up the disk slowly. I don't know why slowly when it's a 50x or 48x speed drive or something like this, but it does. Can I somehow determine the type of the drive? My dmesg is full of these messages: uid 1000 on /: file system full uid 1000 on /: file system full uid 1000 on /: file system full CL

Don't do that; not doing that is easier if /home is on a different partition. Joachim

This will be fixed (it was fixed in the st code a while back).

Joachim Could the first problem occur if the cd is being mounted while it is still spinning up, i.e. if you attempt to mount immediately upon inserting the cd? I could be reading too much into the error message but that's what it looks like it might(tm) mean. Mike
Re: CDROM mounts always on 2nd attempt
Could the first problem occur if the cd is being mounted while it is still spinning up, i.e. if you attempt to mount immediately upon inserting the cd? I could be reading too much into the error message but that's what it looks like it might(tm) mean. That is exactly what it means. And the CD drive sends a specific error that our kernel should interpret as oh what the heck, I'll wait a bit longer. That is what will be fixed. Wait..
