Sorry that you are having issues. New in 9.1 SuSE is using supermount to mount the cd and floppy drives. The icons should be found in My Computer. Supermount is supposed to eliminate the use of mounting CDs and floppies.
Great idea - if it works. :(
Seems to work for me.
How are you trying to read it? If supermount is working correctly, all you have to do is cd to the directory that the drive will mount to. Ex cd /media/cdrecorder.
'Doesn't work. I called SUSE tech. support but they didn't have an answer either.
That stinks! Hmmm.., What does the line/s for your CDRW say in the fstab? Can you force umount the drive as root? I assume that lsof /dev/cdrecorder stated that nothing was using the drive.

Maybe this has been checked, where /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrecorder is symlinked to. I'm using hdb=ide-cd instead of hdb=ide-scsi in /boot/grub/menu.lst as I had some funnies in 9.0 where I couldn't play audio CD's and I think problems unmounting data CD's. I have a problem on one laptop HD where YaST would not load modules, I discovered it was always looking for the floppy drive, plug in the floppy drive and it works. SuSE were no help on that either.
