problem newuser...and truncated answer

I am italian user (first italian user ?)

I have this configuration

1 master - Hdd
1 mastser slave - CDR
1 secondary - Hdd
1 secondary slave - CDRM

why after boot,
if is not presenf floppydisk or CD , QNX not mount these ?

if I write mount it, resource is always busy.
if after boot CD is ON…CD is mounted


When you type mount it means you wish to mount file system - in your case on removable media
(exactly floppy disk or CD-ROM disk). When you change the media the driver re-mounts it for you
(you could disable it).

You insert CD, then driver gets signal and remount disk for you. Nothing to mount if there is no CD
disk in the drive.

Bests,
Eduard.

ok.
After boot CD is not present.
I write “root”.
insert CD.

what are command or STEP for to read CD (or floppy ) now ?

hi,Francob:
When I was in my first step of learning “mount”,I forgot the destination of
the command,I alway type"mount -tcd /dev/cd0" and then the resouce would
alway be busy.You did like this?
ChaoLi
yes,

after “mount -tcd /dev/cd0”

the answer is
“can’t mount /fs/cd0 (type cd)”
“possible reason : resource busy”

I suppose you log in as root?
yes

insert CD.

what are command or STEP for to read CD (or floppy ) now ?

to read CD

cd /fs/cd0

ls

i.e. /dev/cd0 is automounted to mount point /fs/cd0 as soon as you insert CD disk

to read dos formatted floppy (insert floppy into drive)

mount -tdos /dev/fd0 /fs/fd-dos

the answer is :

no such device or address
