Huh?? Funny thing about Mounting...

[MBMarduk]

OK, this isn't really a problem, 'cuz my comp works fine mounting stuff. But has anyone else experienced this:

You mount something and do a 'ls -las' and the mount-point's date is 'Jan 1 1970'???
UNMOUNTED it says 'Nov 14 19:47' (=the day and time it was created)
-->This I've seen with Win98-partitions.
Why is that?
*****************************************
Another -unrelated- thing...
Everytime I want to mount my CD-RW I need to manually do 'insmod ide-scsi'...
So what line do I have to insert in my '/etc/modules.conf'-file so 'mount /cd-rw' DOESN'T need an 'insmod foo' first???

I've read the manpages for the file and the utils (insmod, modprobe etc.), but they are cryptic as hell.

Thanks in advance!

Your probelm is likely to do with the GMT settings (during the installation).

What distro are you using? If you do a forum search, there should be plenty of info on where the startup scripts are. For example, I had to do something similar with my NIC under Mandrake when I booted up...had to modprobe eth0 before it would recognize it. Under RH and Mandrake, just add the insmod whatever command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local (I think that's it...correct me if I'm wrong...it should have a comment at the top that says that everything here is executed after the startup scripts).

to fix the CDROM prob, I believe that you would add to /etc/modules.conf something like

alias block-major-33 ide-scsi
or
alias block-major-34 ide-scsi

something like that
