[newbie] File copying from CD question
Not sure whats causing this, maybe its the way I originally burned the cds, but when I'm copying files from a cd to the hd after a few files I get The file or directory /mnt/cdrom2/(dirname)/(filename) does not exist. If I reload the cd I can copy a few more files then I get the same thing. This happens no matter which cd drive I use. Any assistance would be appreciated. BTW these are mp3's I'm trying to copy back to the hd. -- Regards Chris Registered Linux user #283774 @ http://counter.li.org 5:52pm up 3:20, 3 users, load average: 0.40, 0.16, 0.16 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Chris, I suppose you are using Mandrake 9.0 with supermount enabled. If this is your case, the problem is a bug with supermount in the original kernel of Mandrake 9.0 (solved if you update the kernel). The easy way to solve your problem is to disable supermount: became root (su . password) type: supermount -i disable After run the previous order, type: mount -a And now you will have supermount disabled; you now will need to mount and umount the drives (Cdroms and floppies), but not more problems about files missing. The updated kernel for 9.0 and the kernel comming with the next 9.1 have this problem solved and supermount runs fine.

Thanks to everyone who replied, my only assumption is that before I burn a cd I have to mount my burner correct? And I do that the same way No need to mount the burner. You actually mount a filesystem, not a drive. Thereofre there is no need to mount a drive without a filesystem on it. I did to read the files, mount /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom as root of course. You mount it when you want to use it as a reader. Funny thing is that with supermount enabled there was no problem copying all the files from a cd that had only one directory but one with multiple directories would flake out after copying about 4 or 5 files. The updated kernel 2.4.19-24 fixes this, so if you like supermount and want to keep it on, update your kernel. If you do update, turn it back on with supermount -i enable and reboot Geezz Linux is so much fun! Learn something every day.
