[gentoo-user] Cannot mount dvd

[gentoo-user] Cannot mount dvd

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 489 bytes --]

For some reason I cannot mount a data dvd I just burnt with k3b.

When I click on it in Konqueror it comes up with:

"Could not enter folder /media/project part 1"

However, under File Type Konqueror shows "Mounted DVD".  This is what is 
listed:

d---------  2 michael root 300 Nov  6 21:24  project part 1

Would this be an error I made with k3b?  I selected default settings except 
for udf, because one of the files within this dvd is larger than 2G.

I ran into this a while back and it is a common thing.  I'm not sure
what causes it but it comes down to a permissions problem.  If you
search the forums, I think I have a thread on there about this.  My
username there is dalek.  You can also search the archives for the
problem too.  I think I started the thread and it was a little lengthy. 
If you can't find the solution there, let me know and I'll search
through my old emails.  May take me a bit since I got almost 30,000
emails from this list alone.  o_O

You're not alone tho.

This is a bug that has been fixed in August. Upgrade to a newer version
of cdrtools.

Thanks Dale(k),

It seems that this is a udf problem afflicting data dvds only.  Mounting it 
manually with an entry in fstab as iso9660 works.  I will also try burning 
another dvd later with a as iso level 3 and see if that works.

Thanks Jörg, I am running the latest stable version 2.01.01_alpha51, which is 
dated 11/06/08.  Should I unmask 2.01.01_alpha52, or 2.01.01_alpha53?

Yep, that was what I did to fix that.  Sorry I couldn't recall what it
was but I sort of been through a lot since then.  Got some meds from my
Dr and they almost put me six feet under.  Some things are . . . hazy at
best.

I think there is a file size limit too.  I think it is 4Gb or
something.  I know my backup program is set to 3900Mb for some reason.  o_O

Since this has been fixed with a newer cdrtools, I suggest
keywording/unmasking it and giving it a shot.  They usually release
stable packages and it is not a system critical package either.  I know
I am getting cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha52 as we speak.

Do you still have problems?

Yes with 2.01.01_alpha51, even when I select iso level 3.  I haven't
tried the two ~x86 versions yet.

PS. Interestingly, the dvds can be mounted/opened fine in MSWindows.
I assume they use iso9660 to mount them by default.

There was a bug report in August and the problem has been fixed on August 14th
with 2.01.01a47.

How do you repeat the problem?

I am not sitting infront of the machine in question, but from memory
the basic steps involve:

1. Open k3b and create a data DVD project with at least one file
greater than 2G.  Total size of files that I tried this with was
between 3.8G and 4.1G.*
2. Click on 'burn' and either tick UDF structure under the filesystem
tab, or (also?) tick iso level 3 under Custom settings.
3. Burn.
4. I noticed that the DVD drive will open the tray when the burning is
complete, but it will not close it again to verify the written files.
In that sense I have to cancel the project to be able to close k3b.

Thereafter, I can mount the DVD and read the files on it, as long as I
specify iso9960 fs in /etc/fstab.  Trying to mount it either with
auto, or removing the entry in fstab altogether and relying on
dbus/hald results in 0000 access rights for all the files on the
mounted DVD.


*  There's something deeply dissatisfying with creating coasters
instead of successfully burning CDs/DVDs so I have only tried this
twice so far.  ;-)

HTH.

Not sure if this is a problem with your package but I still can't get a
file larger than 4Gb to work.  Less than 4Gb works tho.  May be
something I am doing tho.

This is not a problem with cdrtools as cdrtools support files up to 8 TB
in ISO-9660 and UDF.

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure.  I hate when I can't

Sorry Jörg, I have a niggling suspicion that the cdrtools on the
machine in question may indeed be older than 2.01.01-a47, which will
of course explain the problem.  Looking after more than one PC at
various states of updates has me confused.  Will check it when I can
access the particular box next time and confirm.

You need of course to remember tht you need "-iso-level 3" or above to allow
files larger than 4 GB.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.  I do wish K3b would figure this out
automagically.  :/

Hey, thanks much.  That works VERY well.  It even works when it is
mounted automatically by KDE.  No more manual mounting for it to work. 
Wooooooo Hoooooooo !!!!!!  It looks like this when it mounts now which I
think is how it should be.
