Hi Chris,
IIRC the isofs inode changes in .102 were mine, so I'd be glad to help
you track down whatever CDROM problems you're having. For starters, what
are your config options relating to CDROMS and isofs? What mount options
are you using? And when you try to mount a CD, do you get any messages
in the logs?
Regards,
Bill
