Normally, I open up a terminal, log in to root, and type in mount
/mnt/dvd to mount my DVD drive. When I went to do it today, I got this
message.

root@PhearThePenguin landus # mount /mnt/dvd/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom0,
or too many mounted file systems

Cany anyone help me fix this?

P.S. This is what 'mount' looks like.

root@PhearThePenguin landus # mount
/dev/hda3 on / type xfs (rw,noatime)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for

# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

You can't mount a blank CD. Burn something to it first /then/ mount.
