I have a CDRom with filenames in upper and lower case. The file names link in pdf In acroreader for Linux

The following works straight from the command line only when I am in root mount /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 -o check=r

Add check=r to the options in /etc/fstab ?

/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,check=r 0 0

I simply added this solution by cut and paste and it worked. I had tried adding check=r before but must of had my syntax wrong Thanks everybody for your help.

However I can't get it to work when I modify my fstab file

/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

"iso9660 user" - try replacing the space with a comma.

Try not. 'udf,iso9660' is the filetype. Then you want some whitespace followed by the options 'user,noauto'. The space belongs there. if using '-o check=r' (relaxed case checking) makes the application work then what you need to do is add that to the options in fstab - 'user,noauto,check=r'

Thanks Daniel and zcat ... my bad.

I'm going to open my mouth now & remove my foot ...

Don't feel that way :) btw, most of the various linux config files have manual pages (eg, man fstab). Some are easier to read than others, but they normally at least describe the format of the config file. In the case of fstab, you also need to read the man page which corresponds to the mount options for your filesystem, which seem to all be collapsed into the 'mount' man page these days.
