[QCLUG] mount: /dev/hdb: can't read superblock

[robmohr@earthnet.net]

Hello lug,


I did the following:

root:/# mount /dev/hdb /media/cdrom

and the response after hearing the drive cycle whick-whick  whick-whick

is the following:

mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/hdb: can't read superblock

And ls -l of /media/cdrom is empty


Previous to all of the above I vi'd the fstab file as root the the  
following line edit addition:

/dev/hdb /media/cdrom iso9660 ro,user 00

The question is what does "can't read superblock" mean with respect  
the the activity of manually mounting a cdrom disc?

Mohr
