Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm trying to load tape backup client software on one of our Linux boxes. When I try to mount the CD drive in Red Hat Linux, I get the error:
"wrong fs type, bad option, or bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems"
I've only got 5 file systems mounted. The /etc/fstab file is set up correctly, with device /dev/cdrom mounting to /mnt/cdrom using file system iso9660. The installation disc came specifically labeled for Linux installation. I've run "dmesg" to get the hardware ID of the drive (hda) and tried "mount /dev/hda -t iso9660 -r /cdrom" and "mount /dev/hda -t iso9660 -r /mnt/cdrom" as well, and they didn't work. I've tried mounting a different disc that I know uses iso9660, and that won't mount.
At this point, I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
