Ack! same problem again, even with the new line in the
fstab. I now have a link on the desktop to /mnt/cdrom
which goes to /dev/hdc, which is there whether a cd is
in the drive or not. When I click the link, there are
no contents.


So, I opened a terminal and tried to umount it and got
this

/mnt/cdrom: not mounted

OK, so I tried to mount it using and got this

mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected,
mounting read-only
mount: No medium found


Here are the contents of my current fstab file, the original contents are listed above.


#/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0


hashed out automount

none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,exec,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0


supermount

/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0


automount

none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0


supermount

none /mnt/hd supermount 
dev=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850
 0 0


Thanks again,

Not sure if this helps,this is in MD10,

After fiddling around for ages, I gave up on supermount in general, and went back to automount like this,
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859
/dev/fd1 /mnt/floppy2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859


I left this as it is, not knowing what it does for you,
none /mnt/hd supermount dev=/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,kudzu,codepage=850 0 0


then mount -a

I also ran,
supermount disable /mnt/cdrom
supermount disable /mnt/cdrom2
supermount disable /mnt/floppy
supermount disable /mnt/floppy2
not sure if it did anything, but all seems reasonably stable, except occassionally the floppies don't umount reliably and I have to resort to logging out and in to clear it.
