Hey all, I seem to have lost the ability to mount CDs on my dual-boot system under Linux (Red Hat 7.1). I can play and rip audio CDs, and I can read CDs in Windows, but whenever I issue "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom" or just "mount /mnt/cdrom", I get the incredibly informative error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom or too many mounted file systems The /dev/cdrom line in /etc/fstab reads: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 And of course I've tried lots of other combinations of options that work on other machines, to no avail. As for the error, I'm pretty puzzled, because I've tried lots of combinations of options, I know the filesystem type is correct, I know the media is fine (works under Windows and on other Linux boxes), and I can loopback mount iso filesystems from *.iso images to my heart's content (so I can't imagine that there are too many mounted filesystems). Any ideas? Oh, yes, I was also wondering, when you make changes to /etc/fstab, do they take effect immediately the next time you try to mount the device, or do you have to tell the os to reread /etc/fstab? This would be good to know for troubleshooting. Thanks, Matt
