Problems mounting CD

[mosquetero]

Hi everyone!

I am trying to mount the CD typing this:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom mnt/cdrom

And I received this error:

mount: /dev/cdrom : Operation not supported by device

Can you help me please??

Thanks in advance

[graudeejs]

try mounting with -t udf

I assume your /dev/cdrom links is configured correctly

[ironmikie]

Can you try this:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/acd0 mnt/cdrom

(make sure the directory /mnt/cdrom exists)

Are you root?

[mosquetero]

Yes, I am root.

I tried: mount -t iso9660 /dev/acd0 mnt/cdrom and it says the same

I tried mount -t udf and it looks like it has executed but I can't find the files of my CD anywhere. Maybe dev/cdrom is not correct, I haven't "touched" anything there, should I modify something there??

Thanks everyone

Have you tried a different cd?

[ironmikie]

Can you post the output of the following commands (in [code] tags please):

kldstat
pciconf -lv

[mosquetero]

Yep, just tried, and nothing...:(

[ironmikie]

Or you can try this.

mount -t cd9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

[DutchDaemon]

Yep, that iso part is non-existent in mount.

See:

$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt
mount: /dev/acd0 : Operation not supported by device
$ mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt
mount_cd9660: /dev/acd0: Operation not permitted (ran this as non-root user)

This is my solution:

1. add this line to /etc/devfs.conf:

perm acd0 0660

2. add my account(fender) to operatoer group:

# pw group mod operator -m fender

3. mkdir in /mnt and chown properly:

drwxr-xr-x 2 fender operator 512 Aug 5 20:43 fender01
drwxr-xr-x 2 fender operator 512 Aug 5 20:43 fender02
drwxr-xr-x 2 fender operator 512 Aug 5 20:43 fender03
drwxr-xr-x 2 fender operator 512 Aug 5 20:43 fender04
drwxr-xr-x 2 fender operator 512 Aug 5 20:43 fender05

4.prevent hal to mount cd device and usb device:
% cd /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/
% ls
10-ignore-usb.fdi 20-ignore-cdrom.fdi
% cat 10-ignore-usb.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="freebsd.driver" string="da">
<merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
% cat 20-ignore-cdrom.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="freebsd.driver" string="acd">
<merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

5. mount something:
% df -h

/dev/ad12s1a 496M 36M 420M 8% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev

The acd0 is the freebsd_7.2_release installation disk, and da0 is a removable disk with only one file system--UFS.
