I've installed version 9.1 Pro last week, and I have some problems with my dvd drive and my cdrecorder
Problem 1 : I can't mount (ou unmount) any disk in cd dvd drive as user. I have to be root to do that.
The /etc/fstab entries you have is such that the system will automatically mount the disk when you enter the mount point directory (subfs). You do not need to mount it manually. The "procuid" flag means that ownership of all files on the mounted disk will be the same as the process that accessed the mount point (i.e., your shell, or konqueror, etc). The fs=cdfss flag assumes an ISO9660 CD-ROM filesystem.
Oh, and in case this is not clear enough; in order for the subfs to automcatically mount your CD, the subfs itself has to me "mounted" at all times. Only root can mount a subfs. Hence, even without any disc in your CD or DVD drive, when you do a "mount" command it should show the following lines: root# mount ... /dev/cdrecorder on /media/cdrecorder type subfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=cdfss,procuid,iocharset=utf8) /dev/dvdrecorder on /media/dvdrecorder type subfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=cdfss,procuid,iocharset=utf8) ... If these aren't there, you must do the following as root to enable them: root# mount /media/cdrecorder root# mount /media/dvdrecorder Normally these should be mounted for you by the system when it boots. You do not ever really need to "umount" a subfs. When you enter the mount point of a subfs-managed device, and a ISO9660 format CD is present, then subfs will mount the subordinate cdfs filesystem for you. When you leave the mount point, subfs automatically umounts it. If you have a floppy drive on your machine, you'll notice that it's also managed the same way as subfs, except that the filesystem type is fs=floppyfss. -Ti
