The type of the filesystem on the CDROM! CDROMs are usually formatted in ISO-9660. You asked to mount a ufs filesystem. The error you got simply indicates that mount didn't find a ufs system on the media. No wander. Try adding -t cd9660 to the mount command: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom > It's time to fix this once and for all. Could it be my drives? Indeed. To fix this once and for all, add an appropriate line to /etc/fstab. Then mount will know the type of the filesystem it should expect automagicaly. man 5 fstab. > There both old 2x and 5x drives.
