I wish I could upgrade my kernel (don't have the time to roll my own kernel -
wish I did). I can't because the pptp tunneling into my place of work only
works on RH 7.0, not 7.1... And I work from home regularly 1-2x per week. And
at night, and on weekends when necessary. I don't want to have to continually
reboot from one os to another each time I need to work, so...
<OT>
In February, my group is being transferred to Intel, at which point I can start
to use another distro, since the telecommuting connectivity is a dial-up. I
plan on using SUSE 7.3 (I have an order pending).
</OT>
In any event, when I have my cd-rom on /dev/sr0 and my cd-rw on /dev/sr1, the
following occurs when I mount:
$ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting
read-only
cool..., but now when:
$ mount /dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw
mount: block device /dev/cdrw is write-protected, mounting
read-only
mount: /dev/cdrw already mounted or /mnt/cdrw busy
huh?
And, say I dismount /dev/cdrom and:
$ mount /dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw
mount: block device /dev/cdrw is write-protected, mounting
read-only
====> And when I look at /mnt/cdrw, the cd-rom on /dev/sr0 spins, and the data
is what is in that drive!!! This is just too wierd. It seems I can't use the
cdrw as a 2nd cdrom...
