    recognising and mounting external ieee1394 DVD writer

    I am new in Linux.

    I have an external Sony DVD writer connected via ieee1394.

    When my knoppix boots up, it does not recognise the device. I read a number of articles in this forum and find the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script. I ran the script and then run 'cdrecord -scanbus'. The DVD writer showed up (it was not there before running rescan-scsi-bus.sh).

    According to various articles on this forum, the next thing I should do is to mount the device using command lines:

    mkdir /mnt/sda1
    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

    However, I have already got a 'sda1' directory under /mnt and an external USB hard drive has been mounted on it.

    My question is: what command line(s) that I should issue in order to mount the DVD writer?

    Many thanks!

    I'm no expert, but I'd have a go with

    mkdir /mnt/sdb1
    mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1

    Thanks, but unfortunately, sdb1 is also occupied by another partition of the external hard drive. And by the way, I tried sdc1 and it did not work. So what next?

    the 'a'/'b/'c' etc refers to the device, and '1'/'2'/'3' etc' refers to the partition, i.e.
    sda1 = scsi type device (sd), first (a) drive, first partition (1)
    sdb6 = scsi type device (sd), second (b) drive, sixth partition (6)

    what error messages are you getting? can youp ost the results of 'cdrecord -scanbus' and 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh'?
