Hi all Thanks to Tor for his help on the ide-scsi problem. Just a simple question thats been bugging me for the last couple of hours. After putting hdc=ide-scsi into lilo to give me scsi emulation for my burner on hdc, what needs changing in /etc/fstab to get the burner working normally? The drive is a Samsung DVD/CD-Writer which works when using xcdroast. When I try and mount the drive normally I get :could not mount /cdrom. /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device. The relevent lines in fstab are: /dev/cdrecorder /cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 I guess it is something really simple.

I don't believe you can have two file system mounts to the same device, and that's where the error message is coming from. Remove the cdrom entry from fstab, and create a link for /cdrom to point to /dev/cdrecorder. ln -s /dev/cdrecorder /cdrom When you mount /cdrom, it will actually be /dev/cdrecorder that is mounted.

It is. With the SCSI emulation the IDE device (/dev/hd[a,b,c,d]) turns into an SCSI device usually /dev/scd0 (0,0,0 in cdrecord btw.). "rm /dev/cdrom; ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom" should cure your problem.

Mine turned into sr0 and sr1 with sr0 being a real scsi cd writer and sr1 being my IDE cdrom. The new xcdroast requires that even the cdrom use scsi emulation. Does it matter if sr0 or scd0. Why is mine sr0/1? -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net

I think they are both the same... Aehmm I use a real scsi burner too. But to my knowledge, sr0 vs. scd0 is the same device. See also the same major/minor numbers. But you answered an unasked question: ide-scsi works with cdroms as well. I cannot use my cdrom as source for reading audio. But I'll experiment a bit with IDE-SCSI. brauki@marvin:/dev > ls -l sr0 brw-rw-rw- 2 root disk 11, 0 Jul 29 2000 sr0 brauki@marvin:/dev > ls -l scd0 brw-rw-rw- 2 root disk 11, 0 Jul 29 2000 scd0 brauki@marvin:/dev > Juergen
