Newbie-Having a problem mounting joliet with S.u.S.E. 5.3 (kernel 2.0.35)

Post by Christian Bridea » Tue, 27 Oct 1998 04:00:00



Every information that I could find tells me that my current kernel
version should support the Joliet filesystem.  However, when I
recompiled the kernel, the make config did not ask me if I wanted joliet
support.  (It did ask me for a bunch of other file systems)

When I reboot, I try the following command:

mount -t joliet /dev/hdc1 /cd

and the system tells me it does not support joliet.

Yes, I have the correct paths.  I was able to mount an iso9660 cd with
the same paths.
I have 2.0.35 kernel.
I have S.u.S.E. 5.3.

I know I am doing something wrong, and I suspect that it is one of those
little things that will make me bang my head against the wall when I
find the answer.

Possible solutions:

1) The make config utility is referring to joliet by another name
2) The mount command expect another name than "joliet"
3) Your input...

Can anyone help?

Well, I found the answer to my problem all by myself.  I just had to mount
the filesystem as a normal cd, but I was referring to the wrong device.  I
should have used /dev/hdc instead of /dev/hdc1.  Why was convinced /dev/hdc1
was the string I used to mount the iso9660 cd?  That remains a mystery.

1. Can't start X because of conflict with GPM (S.u.S.E. 5.3 / 2.0.35)

Hi,

In my ols Slackware days this was no problem, but now (with a new S.u.S.E. 5.3
/ kernel 2.0.35 installation) I can't start X without first killing GPM. I
know they should be able to live together harmoniously. Does anyone know a
solution to this problem?

P.S. Because of my unreliable newsfeed, I'd appreciate replies (also) through

Thanks,
Edwin
