Re: DVD drive no longer mounts - More info



I checked dmesg and noticed several:

Buffer I/O error on device hdb, logical block <number>

errors. Again, hdb is the drive in question. Does anyone know what these errors mean?

Also, the output of hdparm:

gosroth:~# hdparm /dev/hdb

/dev/hdb:
 IO_support    =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq     =  1 (on)
 using_dma     =  1 (on)
 keepsettings  =  0 (off)
 readonly      =  0 (off)
 readahead     = 256 (on)
 HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
