Hint: don't use supermount! ;) -----Original Message----- From: Chris Knowles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 11:47 PM To: TriLUG mailing list Subject: Re: [TriLUG] Will the questions never stop? (Mandrake CD/Supermount)
Tried stat on the directory, see the behavior. If I make hdc be a non-supermount drive then all is well, hdd and fd0 work with supermount. Now, hdc is a brand new reader, so I replaced with a reader that is about 1 yr old, and get the exact same behavior. Is supermount just broken with these drives? Is there any place I should report this behavior to? Thanks. CJK On Mon, 2002-09-30 at 23:26, Tanner Lovelace wrote: > Chris, > > Are your cds mounted with supermount?
