[opensuse] Automount DVD fails
Hy, I try setup many diferents ways to automount my data DVDs on openSUSE 10.2, but nothing works. The mount from konsole works fine, but the automount only work for cdrom drive. I read many articles for these problem, somebody tell me install ivman, others describe change the udev, but is look fine. In SuSE 10.1, the automount of DVDs works pretty good, but on 10.2 i dont understand the reason for not working. Also, i try change KDE > Desktop Settings > Periphals, but dont work too. If somebody help me... Tks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have the same problem that you have. It will not mount a dvd but works perfectly with a cdrom. I suspect, that the program that is used to create the mount point is failing to create the directory name in /media. I have found that his works after some software burning. Too make a long story short, I have found that the following works: 1. determine the device name name of your drive. You can do this by inserting a cdrom and execute the following command more /proc/mounts This will list the /device, generally it will be something like /dev/hdc, where it is the second chain of ide, master (slave would be /dev/hdd). Make sure you remove your cdrom 2. edit your /etc/fstab. Add something like this in it: /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd auto user,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 3. create a subdirectory , e.g., mkdir -p /mnt/dvd 4. insert your dvd 5. ls /mnt/dvd This should display your dvd files. It seems the program will automatically mount the dvd. You will need to umount the drive afer using it. -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Tks for hints Joseph, but i think the problem is other, see my test. On SuSE 10.1 the /etc/fstab not contain these lines you tell me, and the process of automount works pretty good. If i add these lines in 10.2 the problem is resolved at the time, but how you explain, the umount command is necessary. These way is not a best way, but works. Ok, but i remove these lines and test one thing. I insert a data CD into DVD drive, nothing has on fstab and 10.2 automount works fine. If i insert a data DVD the automount not work. In my opinion the problem is not a mount point, but anything on the filesystem of data DVD and the automount process, but i dont have ideia where is that problem. The filesystem of data DVD its fine for any distribuition other than openSUSE 10.2. Tks for your time, if you can tell me more hints.... In time, the video DVD, like a movie (sorry for my english) is works pretty fine, only data DVD not automount. Secco. Em Sáb, 2006-12-16 às 23:00 -0800, Joseph Loo escreveu:

You are missing the point. For the automounter to work properly, you need to have a place to mount the DVD. In this version and I suspect 10.1, the mount point is not being created. Hence you can not mount the DVD. The trick with the fstab creates a place for the automounter to mount the device mount. That is the reason, I say the name is not being created in the /media. In version 10.0, you could create mount point, but in this version, the mount points get created and deleted dynamically. By the way, I now have it working with the automounter. I just look at /misc/dvd and the dvd is automatically mounted. If I wait 1 minute and nothing is looking at it, it will automatically unmount the dvd. -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
