Hello to the SLUG
I am trying to resolve a problem with automount and my CDROM. I am
running Red Hat 7.2 and the automount worked up until about a month ago
when I upgraded from RH 7.1 to 7.2. I have a standard IDE cdrom and it
still works fine if I boot with a DOS floppy.
If I run etc/init.d/autofs status I get :
Configured Mount Points
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/sbin/automount -- timeout 60 /misc file /etc/auto.misc
/usr/sbin/automount -- /dev/fd0 yp file /mnt/floppy/vfat
/usr/sbin/automount -- /dev/cdrom yp file /mnt/cdrom iso9660
Active Mount Points
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
usr/sbin/automount -- timeout 60 /misc file /etc/auto.misc
I believe the text of the auto.master file is incorrect but I cannot
find any proper example of what the CDrom entry
should look like. It has:
/dev/cdrom file /mnt/cdrom iso9660.
In addition when I try to manually mount the CD using /bin/mount -t
iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom I get:
/dev/cdrom is not a valid block device.
Where do I look block devices up? The floppy will manually mount.
Thanks in advance for any help.
