Subject: 2.4.1p8:don't "mount" audio CDs
Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 09:25:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010121092528.53BFBDBA71@atlas.valhalla.net> (raw)


It seems that if you (accidentally) do:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom  (with an audio CD in the tray)

(because it happens to be in your command history & you forgot ;)

it completely locks up the kernel.

no oops, no SysRq, no <option> power, no switch console - three keys is the
only way out.

(so not much useful info really) more of a "don't do that"... although it
seems a bit drastic for such an easy mistake.

Iain.
