Take a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persisten-cd.rules, which may be pointing to the wrong hardware. Just delete that file and udev will create it again on the next boot.

Whether yours is broken, you can find out by trying to ls -l /dev/cdrom :) It appears the links /dev/cdrom1 and /dev/cdrw1 are tied to /dev/hda. Is that the default behavior instead of /dev/cdrom now? That's what I have on my machines, except that I have /dev/cdrom instead of cdrom1. Do you have more than one cd device? If not, you should delete /etc/udev/rules/70-persistent-cd.rules and reboot.

Thank you, Denis You don't need an fstab entry at all. These days, when you insert a CD, it will get mounted automatically and appear in /media, just like USB storage devices.

It's what I use on systems with lots of different media being attached. It even discovered my sony handycam DCR SR42 (one i figured out that you have to surf thru a few menus and push a few buttons on the camera's touch screen). If you want something locked down, udev is your most reliable method, particulary if the device is always on your system. If you, like most of use, 'plug in' all sorts of different usb type devices over the coarse of a week, IVMAN is my recommendation.

That's true of ext2/ext3. ReiserFS uses space more efficiently, especially when storing lots of small files, so although it may appear to offer less space that FAT, you'll probably fit more on the drive. -- Neil Bothwick Celery is not food.
