Description:
In /etc/fstab /dev/cdrom has a default (standard Arch install) filesystem parameter of as iso9660 and /dev/dvd has a default (standard Arch install) filesystem parameter of udf. I'm using thunar-volman and I put a CD in my DVD drive and I got an error about it not being able to be mounted. I just changed the respective filesystems for /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom to auto and it worked fine (no reboots at all). IMO, something the default setting for /dev/dvd should be auto, possibly even /dev/cdrom. It's a simple fix, but could it be done when Arch is installed, instead of having the user manually make this change? I've also seen some guides online that comment out the /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom lines altogether (it's a possible option, though I'm not sure if there are any ramifications). Additional info: * package version(s) Not sure (whatever creates /etc/fstab) * config and/or log files etc. /etc/fstab Steps to reproduce: (Using Thunar) 1) install arch on a new system. 2) install hal, dbus, thunar, thunar-volman 3) add current user to optical group 4) log off user and log on again (or reboot) 5) start X and open Thunar 6) Enable volume management (Edit->Preferences->Advanced and check the "Enable Volume Management" checkbox 7) Put in a CD in a DVD drive 8) Error message should appear |
