    Hi,
    I tried to mount a CDRW but failed.
    The fstab shows:
    /dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 0 1
    /dev/hda3 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2
    none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
    none /proc proc defaults 0 0
    none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
    /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0
    0
    /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660
    noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

    I tried mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
    the output is:
    mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
           or too many mounted file systems

    Does anybody know what might be the reason?
    Your help will be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Hongshu
