Hi I have been transferring data files from my DVD rewriter, however yesterday morning I suddenly got message "permission denied" to DVD, as user, and as root. I can play an audio CD from it, also play a video DVD System Suse 10.1x64
Copy of fstab:
/dev/hdb1 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hdb3 /home reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/dvdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
I have installed Vector on a spare Harddrive in same system and all is O.K. Kind Regards - Nick Daniels

Do you mean for a particular DVD? Or for the writer itself?
If its a DVD, then check you used sensible permissions when you created the image (assuming you used rockridge). I've made that mistake before, and its quite annoying!
If its the drive, then I'm not so sure. Check the permissions for the device file itself (/dev/dvdrecorder) and also for the trail of symlinks which lead back to the real device (/dev/hdc). Does Suse use special hardware groups? Do you have to be a member of cdrom? You could also check dmesg to make sure the device has started and been mounted properly.
Cheers, Richard

Hi Richard Many thanks for reply, have checked all permissions, and groups, all seem O.K. It is the same for all data CD's DVD,s including the ones I used yesterday I loaded the other operating system to check the DVD recorder, which functions O.K, in that operating system. It was working perfectly yesterday, i.e upon insertion of DVD the DVD would request to be opened in new window, today the same or any data DVD/CD gives me (and root) "permission denied." Yet audio CD's and Video DVD;s play O.K. From dmseg Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed. ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 libata version 1.20 loaded. It has been fine since I loaded Suse 10.1, (about a month) . But I did get a Suse update yesterday, but I cannot see what has changed Kind Regards - Nick Daniels

OK, I'll soon be out of my depth (hardware has never appealed to me much, I wish computers didn't have it...)
I notice in your fstab options for the drive you don't have 'user'. This may be because all the other options you have (most of which I don't understand) do the same thing.
Have you tried mounting a disc manually?
In case you're not sure about this:
Insert the disc and cancel KDE's automount message.
type: $ mount /dev/hdc
and if you get no output, then hopefully its worked.
You can check with $ ls /media/dvdrecorder
and with $ mount
and checking to see if its listed there (it should have user=... in it).
(unmount with $ umount /dev/hdc)
If you get permission denied when you mount it like this as well, then someone else will have to help. (Possibly try asking a SUSE list?)
HTH, Richard
