From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I just installed a new Memorex dual format dvd+r/rw drive on a computer which already has a regular dvd drive and a cdwriter (the drives are cdrom2, cdrom1 and cdrom, respectively). The new drive plays regular cds and dvds just fine, but when I attempt to access a dvd+r (recorded on a windows xp machine) mounted as a user I get: [ds264@caliban /mnt]$ cd cdrom2 cdrom2: Permission denied. Also, for some reason, the permissions change to: dr--r--r-- 2 4294967295 4294967295 1792 Dec 9 15:53 cdrom2 as opposed to: dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Dec 31 1969 cdrom2 which i get for any other media type. Finally, when I mount the disk as root, I am able to access it and view the files on it but the permissions look the same as when I mount it as a user. The relevant part of my fstab looks like this: /dev/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 I have tried changing it to: udf,iso9660 user,noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 and udf,iso9660 users,unhide,noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 with no effect. I have also tried running chmod 777 /dev/hdb (this is the drive in question), also to no effect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Place DVD+R into drive 2.mount /mnt/cdrom2 3.cd /mnt/cdrom2 Actual Results: permission denied Expected Results: should have been able to access the drive Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
I see this in FC3 kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp. If mounted udf, I see the above behavior. If mounted iso9660 it works. Disk claims to be in Joliet format (according to the label on it).
This problem went away after a clean install of Fedora Core 3 for me.
Mine is a fresh install as well. What kernel and what filesystem are your dvd's being mounted with? Also, could you list your /etc/fstab entry for the dvd device? Thanks!
