Topic: dungog share drive

[Bob]

I have install the dungog contrib to share a cd on my SME 56U4 server, and it does not appear to mount the drive. I followed the instructions to the letter, but when I look in the folder, there are no files. I am sure the disk has files because I can see them on my work station. Is there something I missed ?????

Bob, is the cd mounted? you know "mount /mnt/cdrom"

I don't know the dungog contrib, but you can can achive the same by making an ibay & mounting you cdrom to it eg

mount /dev/cdrom /the new ibay

I have done some digging and found there is a problem with 5.6U4
But  I think I have found the rub. When looking through the /dev directory, I did a ls -l | less, and found the cdrom is attached to scd0. I am a newbie to linux in general, and learning about all the fun with e-smith. How do I set it to hdc or hdd. I found it is done during boot, but do not know where to change it. I think this is part of the problem other people have had trying to mount a cd after upgrade 4

Thanks

With help from Stephen at dungog, and a little digging I have solved the problem. SEM 5.6U4 has a feature that translates an IDE cd rom to appear as a scsi cdrom. This causes a problem when trying the cdrom As a work around, you just need to change the symbolic link ( ln -fs /dev/hdx /dev/cdrom ). The dungog  autofs works perfectly now
