Pioneer DRM-624x CD Changer

[bwilliam79]

I have a Pioneer DRM-624x CD Changer that I would like to set up on my Red Hat 7.2 box. I can access the first "drive" but the remaining five cannot be mounted as /dev/scd1 or greater. I know there is a multiple LUN option that can be turned on, but it didn't seem to help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Just use the -c option with eject.

If you have 5 slots, you could use

eject -c 0
eject -c 1
eject -c 2
eject -c 3
eject -c 4

To change slots on the CD changer. The downside is, unlike Windows or FreeBSD, you can't use all of the slots simultaneously-- it's only one at a time :(

Can I use the -c when mounting as well? The problem is that I can't even mount the other slots.

Using the -c option will allow you to mount the other slots.

Here's what you do:

First, use eject -c # to change to the number of the slot you want.

Then, just mount the CDROM like you normally would.

It should work, as I used to do it all the time with my NEC CD changer.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
