kernel 2.4.3-12.i686 from redhat ( similar behavior on 2.4.6-ac5 too )
/dev/cdrom1 is hdd
[root@localhost /root]# cp /dev/cdrom1 cd.iso & sleep 10
[root@localhost /root]# mount /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1
mount: block device /dev/cdrom1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
set_blocksize: b_count 2, dev ide1(22,64), block 16742, from c0159f1a
set_blocksize: b_count 1, dev ide1(22,64), block 16743, from c0159f1a
cp: reading `/dev/cdrom1': Input/output error
[1]+ Exit 1 cp -i /dev/cdrom1 cd.iso
Is this normal ?
