[wellylug] Re: CDRW & DVD Mount Conflict?

[Adam Bogacki]

Yup, I modified my /etc/lilo.conf and /etc/modules.conf as suggested below,
rebooted successfully, and tried  'cdrecord -scanbus' but found

Tux:~# cdrecord -scanbus
<snip>
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open 
SCSI d river.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you 
are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
cdrecord:
cdrecord: For more information, install the cdrtools-doc
cdrecord: package and read /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup .

My /etc/fstab currently looks like

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

and I'm unsure where to put

or

>/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount\

... xcdroast recognises

ATAPI: 0,0,0,  PIONEER  DVD-ROM DVD-105  1.11
as the device from which to read, and
ATAPI:0,1,0,  LG              CD-RW  CED-8080D  1.05
on which to write.

The devices in /etc/fstab are those designated by dmesg.
