Howto mount a scsi??

[m3rlin]

Hi! Finaly i made my cd-writer to work, and finaly i made to emulate scsi in my cd-rom, the program 1 use to burn cd's he detects both devices, but there is one problem, since i put my cd-rom as scsi i can't mount it anymore, how do i mount scsi devices, when i try to mount he returns the following errors:
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom"
i tryed like "mount /dev/hdc /cdrom" and he returns "/dev/hdc: Error of input/output"
and i tryed with the optin -t iso9660 but with no efect, he realy can't mount my device :( , have any ideas, Thanks!!!

It seems that it doesn't matter whether the cd-rom is scsi or ide during mounting. Atleast when i was using both ide and scsi cd-rom, the commands in fstab were similar. If you have RH as distribution, you could try my fstab entry on your cd-rom.
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
Now, that seems to need program kudzu, so you could make sure thats installed.

Now the manual command, if given. Should not include /dev/sdc, since that is the third scsi hard drive. Instead your cd-roms are numbered like /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrom1 etc. So the correct format would be similar to:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Make sure you have the /dev/cdrom directory created before you try to mount your cd-rom.

Check your /var/log/messages to see what scsi device your cdwriter uses. Look for mention of scd0/scd1 or sr0/sr1.

mine is

/mnt/cdrom /dev/scd0

the problem i have is that, in the mandrake update tool, when it ejects the cdrom, it ejects my dvdrom (cdrom2. '/dev/cdrom') instead of the burner, so i have to use terminal to eject the cd so i can continue to update the files and un/install files.

a pain and a hindrance but not life threatening

and there is no config on changing the source of the cd's on the app, other than removin all sources and starting again

Some scii are at /dev/sr0

you guys as always wore right :), my cdrom is /dev/sr0, but there's something that i wannt to do, is to give my system user the possibility of mounting the cdrom (/dev/sr0), but only the root can do this, what permissions do i have to give for the user can mount it?
Thanks :)

That's one of the popular questions asked here at LNO.

Have a look at the fstab example posted by Hena and change owner to user.
