[SLE] Changed behaviour for mount CD-ROM on 10.1
Hello: I installed a text-only 10.1 server, with minimal services running. When tried to mount a CD-ROM like I used to do in 10.0, it took several minutes and failed: mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom I learned the following: 1.- With 10.1, you HAVE to create /media/cdrom - no need for this with 10.0 2.- You better pass the "-t iso9960" argument instead of "-t auto", otherwise it takes MINUTES to mount. It was very fast with 10.0 using the "-t auto" parameter. New procedure that worked for me with 10.1 - running as root: mkdir /media/cdrom (once only). mount -t iso9960 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom Also noted that my USB pen drive does not get auto-mounted, I guess I have to do it manually when running without a graphic desktop, I am still looking for the right "mount..." command for USB sticks. Any help appreciated here ;) Best regards, Martin Cordova -- Dinamica - RADical J2EE framework open source, easy and powerful http://www.martincordova.com -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
IIANW, the behaviour is indeed changed, in that there no longer exists an fstab entry for removable media like optical drives or flash drives. When you insert the medium into the drive, the system should automatically recognize it and mount it under /media, but under the volume label of the medium. Please check whether this is true or not for you. You can have SUSE 10.1 mount the drives to fixed mountpoints. The openSUSE wiki has tips on this. -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.53 on SUSE Linux 10.1 $ date [] CCE +2006-06-08 W23-4 UTC+0530
