Is /dev/cdrom your cd burner?

And are you doing this (the mountung specifically) as root?

Also mount needs two arguments, the location of the device (/dev/cdrom) and the folder where you want to mount it (/mnt/cdrom)

Yes /dev/cdrom/ is my cd burner.

In fact its a DVD burner, but yesterday I use
growisofs -M /dev/cdrom -r -J /home/files
without a problems

then I use <mount /mnt/cdrom> to use <ls -la> to check cd data, after that I cant use growisofs. All of that as root user.

Thanks....

Well that means that /dev.cdrom was already mounted. If you mount it twice you cause problems

I would first do

Code:

umount /dev/cdrom

I don't think that needs the location

and then re-mount it with

Code:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Or mount it where ever you wish
Things should work again after that

Thanks so much....Ive another doubt....for other backup I run a script to burn information <burn.sh>
This script contains the media type, the info (folders) to backup, and other instructions, my doubt is if I umount cdmedia and then mount it again, could I affect or modify the functionality of this script ?? Maybe the script didnt find cdmedia (drive) anymore.

It all depends on what's in the script

If you have trouble then post it here
