I was wondering how to fix the following problem.
My ide DVD drive stopped working so today I changed it to an sata dvd writer drive.
Only it is seen as /dev/sr0 or /dev/cdrom2
I now have the problem that commands like 'eject' and vobcopy no longer work.
If I type 'eject /dev/sr0' I get the drive to eject
But if I use vobcopy, even with the -i /dev/sr0 this does not work.
This is one thing about Linux (in general) that winds me up if hardware is changed.
Originally I could not even mount the drive as it did not exist in the fstab, so I added :-
#cdrom
/dev/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,rw,users 0 0
This seems to work but is that correct ?
So how do I get the new DVD writer drive to work like the original DVD drive ?
Thanks in advance.
