 |
|
hi!
i successfuly managed to screw up my /dev/cdrom, while trying to make my burner work.
root # mount /mnt/cdrom/
mount: Too many levels of symbolic links
My cdrom (ide) is hdb and i don't know what's wrong with this device now (/dev/cdrom). I can't mount it no more 
help!

in /dev/cdroms there should be symlinks pointing to the "real" device like
../ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
or
../scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0/cd
Think yor've got some kind of "circular symlink"
/dev/cdrom pointing to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 pointing to /dev/cdrom

Here is something interesting to:
| Code: | zeky root # mount /mnt/cdrom/
mount: special device /dev/cdroms/cdrom does not exist

Really, two links pointing to each other...
Try:
rm /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
then reload the cd-module (ide-cd or sr_mod) - or reboot  , the devfs usally creates it automatically. If not link it manually to
../ide/host0/busX/targetX/lun0/cd (if you use ide-cd)
../scsi/host0/busX/targetX/lun0/cd (if you use ide-scsi or native scsi)

i don't understand nothing no more:
| Code: | zeky root # ls -al /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 35 Mar 10 18:54 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -> /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
|
and...
| Code: | zeky root # mount /mnt/cdrom/
mount: special device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 does not exist
|
and the list goes on...
| Code: | zeky root # mount -t iso9660 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom/
mount: special device /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd does not exist |

Check
You'll have to do the reading on that one by yourself ...
If/when it's in a form you want look-up the PID of devfsd:
| Code: | | root 46 1 0 09:28 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/devfsd /dev |
Then, in this example,
to reload it & create the new dev links |

Is the CD-Rom really Primary-master? I guess no.
Oh, yes you mentioned it's hdb - so it should be
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd
