i mounted with mount -t ext2 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom.

Output from df -H:

/dev/cdrom            568M  158M  381M  30% /mnt/cdrom

Output from mount:

/dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type ext2 (ro)

but a list -l gives nothing (total 0). Also with mc i can't see anything.

If i mount the cdrw in the writer, i can see the files.

Greetings--
