A Google seems to suggest that "mount: No buffer space available" is |
| 21 |
commonly returned when the device is already mounted. |

The manpage for `mount` indicates that `mount -a` will mount all |
| 24 |
devices listed in /etc/fstab, so your output suggests to me that the |
| 25 |
CD drives are mounted when you issue this command - no wonder they |
| 26 |
fail when you try to mount them again separately! |

I don't use optical drives very much under Linux, so please forgive |
| 29 |
me if I'm mistaken. I'd think that `df` would show the mount status |
| 30 |
of optical drives, so IMO it'd be useful to post the output of `mount |
| 31 |
-va && df && mount -v /mnt/cdrom` |
