Fwd: Re: [SLE] Help...mounting CD-R and CD-RW

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [SLE] Help...mounting CD-R and CD-RW Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2002 15:50:21 -0800 From: Tom Nielsen To: Gordon Pritchard Here's what I get: ln -s /dev/scd0 cdrecorder <return> ln: 'cdrecorder' : File exists Same thing for cdrom. I need to make my cdrecorder in line first. That's why I changed it from what you wrote below. Should I change that or did you just make a boo-boo???

When I run "cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info" i get

hdb for the cd-rw hdc for the cd-rom

Not sure if that helps.

I know the links are screwed up, but I can't figure out how to get them back to normal.

Now, when I try to "mount" them, it says "mount:

/dev/cdrecorder : unknown device" Same with the CD-rom But if I click on the desktop link

OK - you could try making the links again. On my system, which sounds like yours, you should have (ignore line-wrap):

root@oilslick:/dev > ls -al cdrom cdrecorder lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 19 11:14 cdrecorder -> /dev/scd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 19 11:14 cdrom -> /dev/scd0

So, you can issue the following two commands, to create the "devices":

root@oilslick:/dev > ln -s /dev/scd0 cdrom root@oilslick:/dev > ln -s /dev/scd1 cdrecorder

Try that, and see if it helps.
