In fedora-test email list, I asked about this one and Alan Cox guessed correctly the problem is in the kernel and/or the Fedora hald (media auto loader thingie). Alan wrote: "The problem is that some of the other file system code looks at the _end_ of the disk. Unfortunately CD-R doesn't have an "end" it sort of tails out into no-mans land. Most drives politely handle such requests, some don't. The ide-scsi driver has the needed magic to work around some of this, ide-cd lacks it." There's some discussion (over my head) about how this can be addressed either in hal or in ide-cd code in the kernel. Submitted before I should have. The work-around for me is to stop haldaemon (if you are running it) and then mount #mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrecorder Adding the type gives the system enough information to read the disk. |
