In Reply to: [gentoo-user] how would I use device names in fstab? by Thufir
1 Encountered:
2
3 warhammer etc # mount /dev/cdrom
4 mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
5 mount: No buffer space available
6
7 i googled and found a "no buffer space available".
8
9 followed suggestions on the thread:
10
11 warhammer etc # mount -va && df && mount -v /mnt/cdrom
12 mount: /dev/sda7 already mounted on /mnt/home1
13 mount: /dev/sda5 already mounted on /mnt/oldroot
14 mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted on /mnt/Movies
15 mount: /dev/sda2 already mounted on /mnt/windows2
16 mount: /dev/sda3 already mounted on /mnt/boot
17 mount: shm already mounted on /dev/shm
18 mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/cdrom
19 I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/
20 filesystems
21 Trying #
22 Trying #vfat
23 Trying ext4dev
24 mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
25 mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/cdrom
26 I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/
27 filesystems
28 Trying #
29 Trying #vfat
30 Trying ext4dev
31 Trying squashfs
32 Trying msdos
33 Trying hfsplus
34 Trying gfs2
35 mount: No buffer space available

38 so i guess it was looking for a lot of fs, but the machine couldn't
39 find the right one.
40 i dunno why.
41
42 my fstab:
43
44 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto auto,users 0 0
45 #/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
46 /dev/hda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
47 /dev/sda7 /mnt/home1 xfs user 0 0
48 /dev/sda6 none swap sw 0 0
49 /dev/sda5 /mnt/oldroot xfs user 0 0
50 /dev/sda1 /mnt/Movies xfs user 0 0
51 /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows2 vfat user 0 0
52 /dev/sda3 /mnt/boot ext3 noatime 1 2
53 /dev/sdb /mnt/ipod hfsplus noauto,user 0 0
54
55 so i changed /mnt/cdrom from auto to iso9660
56
57 and... everything works. no more "no buffer buffer space available"
58 error after that.
59
60 my question is... is there a way to set it to auto and still it will
61 pick up iso9660? or maybe i missed some setting on the kernel that
62 needs to be set?
63
64 thanks.
