[gentoo-user] fstab

[gentoo-user] fstab

[contiemilio]

Hi all. It's me, again.
I have set my /etc/fstab following the instractions of the Handbook. In the 
example there is this entry:

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0       /mnt/cdrom     auto   noauto,user    0  0

To-day I discovered that there is no /cdroms subdirectory in /dev directory.

Is it a bug either of the handbook or of my system?

Thank you a lot.

that is not a bug. That is a leftover from devfs.
Just change to /dev/hdc or whatever your cdrom is.

you have to know the device of your cdrom 
generaly it's a secondary master ide 
/dev/hdc 
so set fstab to : 
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom     auto   noauto,user    0  0

On my system (I am using udev) There are two symlinks created in /dev
for my cdroms that point to the two cd drives hdc and hdd

rubiks120@Dragon /dev $ ls -l cdrom*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Mar 22 09:24 cdrom -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Mar 22 09:24 cdrom1 -> hdd

So the symlinks on my system are /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom1. In your
fstab you can use /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
Hope this helps.

Interest, I gues I missed this upgrading to udev, some time ago.
One one system I both  cd/DVDrom and a dvdrw dual layer. The NEC
3550A is a dual layer DVD RW which also support many CD & DVD 
formats.

grepping the dmesg file I see both devices:

ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb808-0xb80f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hdc: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3550A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)
and
  
hdd: CDU5211, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache, UDMA(33)


so I should make my /etc/fstab look like this?

/dev/hdc /mnt/?????    auto   noauto,user    0  0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom    auto   noauto,user    0  0

I also have hal/ivman/dbus  installed.

sometimes ejecting media from the command line is a challege.

mkdir /mnt/cdrom2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom2    auto   noauto,user    0  0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom    auto   noauto,user    0  0

If you use ivman (or KDE's HAL-based media handling) you don't need
anything in fstab, unless you want to override the mount points used by
ivman.
