Problem mounting CD-ROM: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom
I tried to mount my cdrom drive as either root and a regular user, but when I do I get this error:
Code:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
The line pertaining to the drive in fstab is:
Code:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,users 0 0
Also when I login as root and try to use either the GNOME or KDE CD players music plays just fine, but if I try it as a regular user I get an error saying permission is denied. So it seems as if the CD players can mount the cdrom drive just fine as root.
well... if you're using audio cd's, then you don't mount them. audio cd's don't really use typical filesystem formats - they have a table of contents, and a couple of tracks... not a real filesystem. data cd's are written differently... they have a filesystem, so they need to be mounted.
Thanks guys, my CDROM drive mounts now. However, I still can't the CD Player to play any CDs yet. I get this error when I load it. I've tried everything I can think of, my regular account has ownership and auth rights to access the CD drive, but I still get that error.
