As Sunny said, I disabled subfs. But here's another newbie question... How do I make K3B detect the drive?
k3b should detect the drive without problem. If it does not, there is something else wrong. Try from terminal, as root to issue: #cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus this should list all ATAPI devices attached. Try this as regular user as well, to see if it is the same. If you see your device, the k3b should recognize it too. Actually k3b is only a very good frontend to various programs, incl. cdrecord.
And do I have to unmount every time I want to change the cd?
Thats the price you pay :). Try changing the option noauto to auto. That way you should be able to automount the cd when you click on its icon on desktop. I.e. it should mount the disk in the drive whenever you need to access the data on it. And it should unmount it after some period of inactivity. But if you need to change the disk right now :), the rightclick over the icon and select eject.
Here's what I've added to the fstab file: (It has mounted perfectly)
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder udf,iso9660 noauto,users,ro,exec
I've got a new DVD recorder. After installing it, the default settings in /etc/fstab have changed to: /dev/dvdrecorder /media/dvdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 and now it works as it should. So, maybe this was a device problem. You may try such an entry so see if it works. Cheers Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85
