no more CD-RW?

[bobtcowboy]

My CD-RW seems to have stopped working...

I'm running Progeny, it worked fine - burned and read like it was supposed to - then I upgraded to Debian Testing... now when I try to mount it I get

<quote>
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems
</quote>

happens no matter what CD is in it, and if I umount other drives it still won't...

the thing works in windows, so its not broken....

any ideas? need more info?

Thanks,
Bill

I suspect your /dev/cdrom may not be linked to your actual cd-rw partition. Try mounting that, e.g., if it is /dev/hdb, try mounting it as /dev/hdb.

Ahhhh.....

mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /cdrom

worked! Thanks! Wonder why it stopped working? Don't recall changing fstab, though maybe my apt upgrade did?

Thanks!
