[opensuse] Mounting cdrecorder
Lectori Salutem, SUSE Linux 10.1 is running on my machine and since then I can't mount the cdrecorder. When I try I get the message: can't find /media/cdrecorder in /etc/fstab or etc/mtab How can I correct this situation?

If you want to use the "mount" command, you must define a line for the device in /etc/fstab. If you want to automount, it depends on kde or gnome. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

/etc/fstab is owned by <root> and you do not have rights to edit as /<user>.

I managed to change /etc/fstab as su -, but when I tried to mount the cdrecorder I gotthe massage Only root can mount As su - I gave the command mount media/cdrecorder The answer was: Can t find media/cdrecorder in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab And mount dev/cdrecorder gave the same message Any suggestions to solve my problem?

I use 10.1 installed from a dvd that came with Linux Magazine. On the screen I got the symbols for cdrecorder, cdrom player and dvd player. When I tried any of them to mount I got - and still get - the message: 'Only root can mount dev/cdrecorder on media/cdrecorder', 'Only root can mount dev/cdrecorder on media/cdrecorder' and 'Only root can mount dev/dvd on media/dvd' respectively. I looked in fstab and found for cdrecorder and dvd player: /dev/cdrecorder /media/ subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/ subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 and managed to change that to: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 The messages still are the same! When I give - as su - - the command (as Ken Schneider advised) mount /media/cdrecorder I get back mount: unknown filesystem type 'subfs' ????

For manual mount to work you need something like this: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto noauto,ro,user 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto noauto,ro,user 0 0 Also, subfs is not used in 10.1 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I was wondering how it's possible that 'subfs' could appear in the file fstab during upgrading from 10.0 to 10.1 when it does not exist in 10.1 Thanks, Andre den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did you upgrade, or do a clean install? If an upgrade, it's possible the fstab contains entries left over from 10.0. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well it would be /dev/cdrecorder, you need the preceding "/".
