User Permissions for /dev/cdrom
I have just upgraded K3b in SuSE 9.3 from the default installation to k3b-0.12beta2. When I run it as a user I get the following messages: Writing device ATAPI - CD-RW 52X24 is automounted. Automounting can cause problems with CD/DVD writing, especially with rewritable media. Although it might all work just fine it is recommended to disable automounting completely for now. Solution: Replace the automounting entries in /etc/fstab with old-fashioned ones. No write access to device /dev/cdrom K3b needs write access to all the devices to perform certain tasks. Without you might encounter problems with ATAPI - CD-RW 52X24 Solution: Make sure you have write access to /dev/cdrom. In case you are not using devfs or udev K3bSetup is able to do this for you. No write access to device /dev/cdrecorder K3b needs write access to all the devices to perform certain tasks. Without you might encounter problems with ATAPI - CD-RW 52X24 Solution: Make sure you have write access to /dev/cdrecorder. In case you are not using devfs or udev K3bSetup is able to do this for you. My current fstab entry is: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,auto,fs=cdfss,unhide,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec 0 0 What should I change the entry to read in order to be able to burn CD's as a user. Thank in advance.

For this one, refer to the email I posted here: Date: Fri, 13 May 2005 02:30:19 +0200 (CEST) From: Carlos E. R. Subject: Re: [SLE] automounting of Floppy 9.3 [solved: NOT automounting]

Yes, 9.3 uses udev. But I think write access is granted by resmgr. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

My current fstab entry is: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,auto,fs=cdfss,unhide,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec 0 0
^ | +------ Take out "auto". It might help to take out "ro" also. It means "read-only"... not what you want. The "nosuid" might get in the way of something also. Check out the "mount" manpage for more info.
What should I change the entry to read in order to be able to burn CD's as a user.
Thank in advance.

In 9.3 it doesn't matter: the hal daemon will automount it regardless of any entry you might have in /etc/fstab. It doesn't work that way any longer. As a matter of fact, that line is incorrect, subfs doesn't apply (not in 9.3)

The cdrom or cdrecorder must be ro. Those devices are read only devices, even when you write to them, because the software that burns them do not mount the devices. It's a different thing. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
I appreciate the responses to my query, As a matter of fact, I searched for the email that Carlos referenced in his message and use the solution that SuSE furnished. All is now well. On Thursday June 02, 2005 10:39 am, Carlos E. R. wrote:

Suse has made available very recently one or two patches that apply to this (hal and submount). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
