Hallo Ben Fennema ,
The mount command gave no error, also a df -H says the amount auf used and free! space on /dev/cdrom. But a ls -l /mnt/cdrom gives only an empty dir. With udf there are no problems to have access through the cdrom.
Are you sure it was really mounted as type ext2? Just run "mount" without arguments to see how it was mounted.
Another posibility is the CDROM drive doesn't grok fixed packet tracks correctly, so all the blank spaces between the packets show up as valid blocks. UDF detects this and skips the link/lead-in/lead-out blocks, but ext2 wouldn't.. (though if this was the case, I'd be amazed it mounted at all)
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-- Email:KOALASOFT@GMX.DE
