I have just been fiddling with trying to share a copy of a cdrom. My idea
was to copy the contents of the cd to my hard disk and share from there
using samba.
For some reason that I can't remember I think I can't just use cp to copy
the cd contents to the hard disk. (Perhaps someone could tell me if I am
making this much more complicated than it need be.)
I tried: dd if=/dev/hdb of=/home/test3
followed by: mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/test3 /mnt/test
It seems to work (sort of). However at the end of the dd I get these
errors.
HDB: Command Error: Status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
HDB: Command Error: error 0x54
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40 (hdb), sector 1165908
ATAPI device hdb:
Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key = 0x05 )
Logical block address out of range -- (asc=0x21, ascq=0x00)
& then all the same errors for sector 116912
So I am not sure that I am really getting the full contents of the cd
correctly. My test3 file is about half a MB larger than the cd.
There doesn't seem to be an appropriate HOWTO. Could someone please tell
me what am I doing wrong . Is there a better way to approach this?
regards
Steven
