UDF-fs: No VRS found

Post by ^rooker »

On a freshly installed Debian Lenny, sometimes the following message popped up in the shell:
UDF-fs: No VRS found
Thanks to a thread on a HP forum, I found out that it's related to a filesystem type found on optical media (DVDs, CDs, ...). Here's a quote from a user called "Jerome Henry":
UDF is the Universal Disk Format, and the VRS is the Volume Recognition Sequence, which identifies the type of data on your CD. It means that your CD driver (thru the kernel) doesn't identify the type of file system on the CD you try to mount.
Makes sense.

So, I've edited /etc/fstab and swapped the order of cd-rom filetypes in the following line:

Code: Select all

/dev/scd0   /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660   user,noauto   0   0
to try iso9660 first and *then* UDF:

Code: Select all

/dev/scd0   /media/cdrom0   iso9660,udf   user,noauto   0   0
Jumping out of an airplane is not a basic instinct. Neither is breathing underwater. But put the two together and you're traveling through space!
