This is a problem I have often... "mount"
command doesn't list the drive as mounted,
umount won't unmount it saying it is not mounted,
but mount won't mount it saying it is mounted.
not sure what it is due to - I think it is due
to the supermount automounter. If you find a
good solution, let me know. I guess you will
also found at this stage that the CD can't
be ejected by pressing the switch on the drive,
but giving the command eject /dev/cdrom will.
Normally, reboot works for me - after
reboot, when I put the disk in and wait for a few
minutes, then the supermount mounts it. If it
doesn't, then giving mount command works.
