help me fix my fstab

[DimGR]

this is how it looks like by default


# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
/dev/dvd /dvd iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdaudio /cdaudio iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/hdb5 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0



i do not have a dvd though. i guess knoppix thought i did?!?!

i want to add my cdrw. How do set it up?
also, i can not write to my sda1 ( thumb drive)
whenever i try to play a cd i get an error no entry bad block or device etc..

What's the output when you type: "ls /mnt" ?

It looks like your cdrom/cdwriter are not detected by knoppix. To be sure type "dmesg|grep CD". The output must show the names of your cdrom/cdwriter. If they are not detected it's no use to edit fstab.

make a dir in /mnt called cdrom
do mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom

sr0 being the cd-rw

should work.
if it works change the link called cdrom in /dev (/dev/cdrom) so it ponts to sr0 instead of wherever it points now.
if it doesn't let us hear

Hm, Knoppix did detect the 2 drives but if it did so, it had to edit this in fstab. But it did not, why??
Are the 2 drives also listed in System > Info Center > Storage Devices?
If they are not listed, I don't think manually adding the drives will help! But you can always give it a try.
If you want to do this manually, 2 files have to be made first in dir. mnt, named cdrom and cdrom1.
As root type "mkdir /mnt/cdrom" and do the same for cdrom1. Add the next lines in fstab:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /cdrom1 iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0

All the best

mount: /dev/sr0 is not a valid block device
