Hi,
I'm on a Dell Latitude D600 with a CD-RW/DVD-R. When I try to mount the
drive I get an error:
5 # mount /dev/acd0 /cdrom
mount: /dev/acd0: Input/output error
But dmesg says:
acd0: CDRW <QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW242U> at ata1-master PIO4
So although my drive is recognized correctly, it doesn't work with
FreeBSD. But it worked for building and installing FreeBSD a few days
ago, so I know the drive is functional. How do I get the drive to mount?
Does it make any difference that I am running GNOME 2.6?
I have some another disk mounting question, too. Sometimes when I try to
mount the CD drive I get an error that goes something like:
Incorrect super block
What does this error mean? What does it mean in reference to a hard
drive? What does it mean in reference to a CD drive?
