Subject:   Mounting a 2nd CD-ROM Drive
Message-ID:  <19990429171202X.mrc@ChipChat.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am unable to mount a 2nd CD-ROM drive.
I have tried several things, read the man pages, and searched
FAQs and mailing lists.  I ask for some suggestions from other
BSDaemons...

1) Hardware configuration:
  SCSI ID=0  CD-ROM drive
  SCSI ID=3  CDR drive

2) FreeBSD 3.1-Stable seems happy with it
-----------------
#dmesg | grep cd
cd0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
cd0: <MATSHITA CD-ROM CR-508 XS03> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device 
cd0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15)
cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present
cd1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 3 lun 0
cd1: <YAMAHA CRW4416S 1.0f> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device 
cd1: 8.333MB/s transfers (8.333MHz, offset 15)
cd1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present - tray closed
---------------------------

3) I am able to SUCCESSFULLY Write CD-ROMs using 'cdrecord' from the 'ports'.

4) But when I try to mount the CDRW device, it fails.
   Mounting the CD-ROM device succeeds.

What I have tried:

  Preliminary:
    #mkdir /cdrw

Mount Attempt 1:
  #mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/cd1c /cdrw
cd9660: No such file or directory

Mount Attempt 2:
  edit "/etc/fstab"; Copy & modify the last line so it looks like:

# Device		Mountpoint	FStype	Options		Dump	Pass#
<snip>
/dev/cd0c		/cdrom		cd9660	ro,noauto	0	0
/dev/cd1c		/cdrw		cd9660	ro,noauto	0	0

  #mount /cdrw
  cd9660: no such file or directory

Stabbing in the dark....
  Despite what the kernel config file says about 'cd0'
I tried to make a device:

  #cd /dev
  #./MAKEDEV cd1
  #
  #ls cd*
   ... ...  cd0a  cd0c  (but no cd1 device)

  #./MAKDEV cd1a
  [: 1c: trailing non-numeric characters
  (ditto)
  cd1c is invalid -- can't have more than 32 cd devices

Request:
  I have run out of ideas.
Suggestions are welcome.
