Thanks for the reply, but none of that made any sense to me. At the moment my optical drive is (unreachable): jjj@Devil-Bonobo:(unreachable)/$ sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/jjj mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /media/jjj busy jjj@Devil-Bonobo:(unreachable)/$ The computer is otherwise running fine. From past experience the only way I know to fix this problem is to reboot the computer. Please don't tell me I must always reboot the computer in order to change an optical medium. :( Edit: Now I can't even mount a USB drive. It is at least recognized, but attempts to mount it result in: "Error creating mount point `/media/jjj/128GB': Read-only file system." Of course, the file system is not read-only and, even it it were read-only I should still be able to mount it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
