I am running LM 8 beta 2 and can not access ether drive. I am getting errors reporting that I don't have access rights to this location. This is as both user and "root". thanks in advance for the help :-> I have checked scd0 and hdd and they are set as follows: hdd marko cdrom rw. ... ... scd0 marko cdrwriter rw rw ... There is also a /dev/cdrom1 sym link to hdd with the same setup. /mnt/cdrom root root rwxrwxrwx /mnt/cdrom2 root root rwxrwxrwx Contents of ftab and mtab are as follows /dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda8 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 / ext2 rw 0 0 none /proc proc rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda8 /home reiserfs rw 0 0 /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount rw,fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount rw,fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount rw,fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda7 /usr ext2 rw 0 0 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=43 0 0 automount(pid697) /net autofs rw,fd=8,pgrp=697,minproto=2,maxproto=4 0 0 automount(pid678) /misc autofs rw,fd=8,pgrp=678,minproto=2,maxproto=4 0 0
