2nd DVD Drive Added: No symbolic link or mount point added
Suse 9.2 I put in a new DVD/RW drive. I already had a DVD/ROM drive. The old drive was recognized as /dev/hdc. symlink ( added by suse) is /dev/dvd mount point ( added by suse ) is /media/dvd The new drive was recognized as /dev/hdd No symlink or mount point was added. I guess I can do this myself, but shouldn't Suse automatically add these when detecting a new media drive?

Perhaps its dynamic like USB? Check your FSTAB and /media. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Here's the summary as I posted it to alt.os.linux.suse: The K3b will not recognize the write device. Below is a screenshot of me trying to add /dev/hdd manually...it says "Device Not Found": http://www.texeme.com/nodvdrom.jpg Here is yast showing that it exists..but not recognizing the mount or the symlink: http://www.texeme.com/driveisthere.jpg Here are my /etc/fstab, mount entries and the symlink: texeme:~ # cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/dvdrw /media/dvdrw subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 texeme:~ # mount /dev/hda3 on / type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/hda1 on /windows/C type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,gid=100,umask=0002,nls=utf8) /dev/hdc on /media/dvd type subfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=cdfss,procuid,iocharset=utf8) /dev/hdd on /media/dvdrw type subfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=cdfss,procuid,iocharset=utf8) /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) texeme:~ # texeme:/dev # ls -la /dev/dvdrw lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 2 22:16 /dev/dvdrw -> hdd texeme:/dev #

I noticed they are both on the second IDE interface hda hdd , try putting one of them on the first IDE interface hdb .. .pete. -- If Bill Gates had gotten LAID at High School do YOU think there would be a Microsoft ?

Update: Due to some help I received on the alt.os.linux.suse ng, I now am closer to being able to get this drive to write dvds. However, I am at the point where K3b recognizes both drives and recognizes the new drive as a writer. Yet, when I press the button for formating a dvd, it says "no rewriteable media found". There is definitely a dvd-r disk in the drive!

Could be a firmware problem. Every writer has in its firmware information about the disc types it supports. If you put in a blank CD that it doesn't have in its firmware, it won't recognise it as writeable. Check the drive maker's home page for firmware upgrades

Might be that the dvd-r disk is a *writable* disk format, not a *rewritable* format and does not require "formatting". -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

Are you "root" are a "user"? If a "user" try it as "root" Your problem may be permission related. -- 73 de Donn Washburn Hpage: " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " 307 Savoy St. HAMs: " n5xwb@arrl.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador LL# 1.281.242.3256 " http://counter.li.org " #279316

Okay, really stupid question: have you tried a DVD+R instead of a DVD-R? Your drive data shows it as being an all-format drive, but I have a similar drive at home that for some reason just won't burn DVD-Rs, only DVD+R. This probably isn't your problem, but it's cheap to try out...
