On two separate 4.3 systems I am now running into problems mounting CD-ROMs
locally. Suggestions?
The Message Reference manual does not list error 0506.
======System A
Regardless of what CD I put in I get the following. I checked the
modification times on /dev/cd0 and /cdrom and found nothing fishy.
# mount /cdrom
mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount /dev/cd0 on /cdrom: Cannot run a file that does
not have a valid format.
#
On snooping about a bit, I noticed ownership and group ownership for /tmp
were set to '888' and '999' respectively. I checked another system and
changed these both to 'bin'. On looking at things once more, I found the
following permissions. I am not sure if the trailing 't' was there
originally or not. It looks like trouble. Executing 'chmod a+x /tmp' did
nothing apparently.
# ls -l
[snip]
drwxrwxrwt 15 bin bin 22016 Oct 29 14:31 tmp
[snip]
#
=======System B
After successfully mounting System B's CD-ROM remotely from System A, I
unmounted on both systems and tried to locally mount another CD-ROM. Now I
get the following error, along with a solid amber light on the CD-ROM drive
despite a reboot. Since I had just been using it successfully, I doubt a
true hardware problem though diags does give the following message.
# mount /cdrom
mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount /dev/cd0 on /cdrom: The device is not ready for
operation.
