I'm having a problem mounting my CD-ROM after I change a CD in the carrier. Breakdown of events using Infomagic CD set : 1. I boot with a CD in the carrier, machine boots OK, recognizes the CD, sees there's a disk in it, and mounts it to /cdrom. I can read the CD fine. 2. With the _same_ CD in the carrier, I can mount and umount fine by entering: mount /dev/hdc umount /dev/hdc I can do this repetitively no prob. 3. Now for the problem. After a umount, I put in a different CD, and do a "mount /dev/hdc" again. I get: "wrong fs type or bad superblock on /dev/hdc" 4. Subsequent mount requests generate this msg: "/dev/hdc already mounted or /cdrom busy" Well, it's definitely not mounted and I don't see where /cdrom is busy. At this point, I can't do anything with the drive and have to reboot to use it again. The CD itself is fine, because when I boot with it in the carrier, it gets mounted fine and I can read it. kernel = 1.2.13 from Slackware 3.0 - Infomagic Developer's resource April '96 The CD-ROM drive is on a Gateway P5/133 and the doc says the drive is a Wearnes 8X EIDE Now, I am _not_ a unix guy (actually a mainframer), so this could be a really stupid question and I apologize if so. I checked the FAQ and the CDROM how-to, then thought I'd try youze guys.
