Strange problem with Plextor IDE-Drive W121032A
Hello folks,
I'm not sure if the solution to this problem has already been posted,
so sorry if this is a known issue.
I have searched Google and the Usenet for the answer of this question.
I have 2 IDE-Drives, one of them is a Plextor CD-Writer.
I have SCSI-Emulation enabled, ATAPI CDROM disabled, basically all the
settings that you should have according to the various howtos.
CD-Writing with the plextor works fine, data cds aswell as audio cds.
But MOUNTING e.g. using the plextor drive for accessing data on cds
does NOT work. I cannot mount it as a user nor as root.
In fact the mount command sometimes says something about a bad superblock
but sometimes it "mounts" the cdrom but when i change into the plextor
directory and type ls, just random stuff is displayed.
sample:
asuzuki@duron:/plextor$ ls -l
total 68

dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8192 2. Mär 1999 ???
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 20345 24. Jun 1998 ??????

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 877 29. Jul 1998 ???????

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 877 29. Jul 1998 ???????
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 877 29. Jul 1998 ???????
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 877 29. Jul 1998 ???????

The drive is mounted by asuzuki.
these are the relevant entries of my /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdr /plextor iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdr is a link to /dev/scd0.
Sometimes when I mount the drive in /plextor, and then try to change
into that directory, it says that it is no directory, and all of
a sudden ls / actually tries to tell me that /plextor is no longer
a directory, but a file. When I umount the drive, the directory
is back.
During the mounting process, error messages are output which I
can see by calling dmesg.

I have seen a couple of mails in archives on the net, where the
same question was asked, and nobody had an answer.
Does anybody know what's going on here?
BTW: some lines are more than 80 characters. I apologize for that.
