Note to self about mounting problems

2008-06-27 22:20, Two comments

This is just a small note to my future self, for the next time I encounter seemingly random invalid mount operations, or other mount failures in Ubuntu (Hardy Heron, in this case), for phone cards, usb drives et al. Remove the following line from /etc/fstab:

/dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

For what it’s worth, I have to do this because I have no optical drive in my laptop, and this line seems to be added, regardless of the presence of such a drive.
