    Can you send the following:

    grep -p cdrom /etc/filesystems

    or see if the attribute NODE is defined in the /cdrom stanza ?

    What did you use a the type of vfs ? Sounds like /etc/filesystems
    thinks /cdrom is an NFS filesystem.

            Good morning to all,
            Just wondering if some of you already experienced this and found
    a solution.
            
            We have a pSeries server (7029-6C3), we were able to use the
    CD-ROM/DVD-RAM Drive to create mksysbs. The problem started when we
    attached an external LTO tape drive, we found out that we cannot use the
    same channel of the adapter internal and external (FC 6203), so we
    reconnected the library to the other channel to resolve the conflict.
    But still, the CD-ROM/DVD-RAM ceased to operate and we can't even mount
    it anymore.
            IBM Technician already replaced the adapter and drive and we
    also upgraded the microcode level, but still we cannot get it working,
    it can't even pass the test/diagnostics using a CD ROM test disc.
            
            Here's a strange error message I'm getting when I try to mount
    the /dev/cd0 to /cdrom:
            
            'cannot mount /dev/cd0 on /cdrom: A remote host did not respond
    within the
            timeout period'
            
            /cdrom file system exist.
            
            thanks in advance,
