I'm trying to understand the following (on sid). First the devices:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 4 08:10 /dev/cdrom -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 4 08:10 /dev/dvd -> hdc brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Jan 4 08:10 /dev/hdc I'm trying this both as my own user (who is in the cdrom group) and as the root user. In each case here where /dev/dvd is used - I have also tried with /dev/cdrom and /dev/hdc - just in case. mount -t udf /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd ls -l /mnt/dvd/VIDEO_TS/ total 4571236 -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 12288 Dec 17 2002 VIDEO_TS.BUP -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 12288 Dec 17 2002 VIDEO_TS.IFO -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 3932160 Dec 17 2002 VIDEO_TS.VOB -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 83968 Dec 17 2002 VTS_01_0.BUP -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 83968 Dec 17 2002 VTS_01_0.IFO -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 312850432 Dec 17 2002 VTS_01_0.VOB -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 1073537024 Dec 17 2002 VTS_01_1.VOB -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 1073737728 Dec 17 2002 VTS_01_2.VOB -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 1073506304 Dec 17 2002 VTS_01_3.VOB -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 1073584128 Dec 17 2002 VTS_01_4.VOB -r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 69605376 Dec 17 2002 VTS_01_5.VOB Note the uid/gid pair here mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd ls -l /mnt/dvd/video_ts/ total 4571236 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 12288 Dec 17 2002 video_ts.bup* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 12288 Dec 17 2002 video_ts.ifo* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 3932160 Dec 17 2002 video_ts.vob* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 83968 Dec 17 2002 vts_01_0.bup* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 83968 Dec 17 2002 vts_01_0.ifo* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 312850432 Dec 17 2002 vts_01_0.vob* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1073537024 Dec 17 2002 vts_01_1.vob* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1073737728 Dec 17 2002 vts_01_2.vob* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1073506304 Dec 17 2002 vts_01_3.vob* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1073584128 Dec 17 2002 vts_01_4.vob* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 69605376 Dec 17 2002 vts_01_5.vob* Now - as iso9660 I can at least get meaningful uid/gid but cp /mnt/dvd/video_ts/vts_01_0.vob . gives (and there is space on the destination - I've checked) cp: reading `/mnt/dvd/video_ts/vts_01_0.vob': Input/output error So - trying dd instead dd if=/dev/dvd of=foo.iso dd: reading `/dev/dvd': Input/output error 8896+0 records in 8896+0 records out 4554752 bytes (4.6 MB) copied, 6.32198 seconds, 720 kB/s mplayer can play the dvd in this box.
