The problem there is that whatever program you were using should mount /dev/cdrecorder, not /dev/hdc.
The symlinks can be modified adjusting '/etc/udev/rules.d/20-cdrom.rules'.
I got the error in the first stages of installation, when I wanted to copy ARCHIVES.gz to /var/lib/pin (why don't they make this part of pin's installation?).
The program pin tries to copy that file on the first run, but the logic is imperfect and fails some times. I had to copy that file manually as well. And, I don't think it should be included in the rpm, because this way it works with different installations.
When I tried to access /media/cdrecorder or /media/SU930_001 through the console, I think the shell was showing empty directories. When I tried to access via Konqueror, that is when I got the error above. If I remember correctly, the same error happened if I tried "mount /media/cdrecorder" as root.
Strangely now, when I reuse the original fstab everything works fine. Konqueror shows me the CD content in both /media/SU930_001 and /media/cdrecorder and root can now mount and umount /media/cdrecorder without any error. Maybe the reboot (actually several) I did between Thursday and today actually would have solved it without need to change fstab?? (No time now to try a new install, but if I find it again in another machine, I will report.)
Yes, it makes sense, because the symlinks (/dev/cdrecorder, etc) are created at boot time.
What worked for me was to edit /etc/fstab and write hdc instead of cdrecorder. The solution is not fully kosher, as I now get a new entry in /media for each CD or DVD with the title of the disk (such as SU930_001 and SU930_002 for the 2 SuSE DVDs), instead of a generic cdrecorder or dvd as mounted directory.
There is an article in the SDB that explains how to fix the name.
This new method is fine with me. It actually makes scripting easier and more portable.
I have disabled completely the automount feature, I prefer traditional manual mounting. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCvy4jtTMYHG2NR9URAhcgAJ4m976EPP2xjJy0B1LGiQdbDWDHIACbBkW9 Ya6I3JirKUx+URoR6a3aILE= =d//f -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
