This covers most common cases. oops, in fact i've put udf:iso9660 for CDs too. Is that bad? no, not bad, udf is a bit slow in checking if it is really an udf fs. But perhaps it is safer because I think iso9660 can also mount some udf filesystems. Normally CDs are iso9660, and dvds udf, so that is ok. But I think packet-written cds are udf as well, and I have no clue if they work if they are mounted with iso9660. untill someone can test this well(hint!), it is perhaps best to leave it as it is now. d.

[Andrey: I know iso9660 can mount some udf as well, but if it is a real cdrom drive, it can only be packet writing cds, is it a problem when these are mounted with iso9660?] I am not sure I actually understand the question ... I am no expert in CD writing after all :) [...] Another thing is that some drives are _very_ slow when trying to autoclose the device (see bug 20, there are probably more, since I often saw reports about slow cdrom responses). I would prefer that autoclose is disabled, or at least that it is made custumizable (sysctl -w dev.cdrom.autoclose=0). it is customizable :) the question is what should be default upon install. Sometimes I miss autoclose but you can't have 'em all. Andrey, another thing we talked about was sysctl -w dev.cdrom.check_media=1. But I currently forgot what it was good for :( mostly to speed up things and to not interfere with CD players. Without this setting attempt to mount will try to really mount (incl. media access) that may result in skips during playing audio CD. With it attempt to mount does not even touch CD because it already knows it is audio and returns EMEDIATYPE error. -andrey
