Linux

Hello all,

Please can someone assist?

I am attempting to install an external dvdrw on fedora 6.

I attach the dvdrw device to the USB port and run dmesg:

scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 4
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
scsi 2:0:0:0: CD-ROM SONY DVD RW DRU-710A BY01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
scsi 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 5
usb-storage: device scan complete
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 62x/62x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
sr 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0

I presume the system has picked up the device and check /dev:

# ls -lrt /dev

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 11, 0 Mar 28 14:35 scd0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 28 14:35 cdrom-sr0 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 28 14:35 cdrom -> scd0

I try to mount the device however get the following error:

# mount /dev/scd0 -t iso9660 -r /mnt/usbcdrom

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
missing codepage or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? I have read several documents but cant seem to find any useful info.

many thanks
