How to mount a blu-ray drive?

Question

Maybe it is for the best to close this question. This has nothing to do with a bluray drive in general anymore. Probably a hardware defect. I will try to test it with a windows system and different cables again... Thx so far.

I have a bluray/dvd/cdrom drive with SATA. Ubuntu wont find it under /dev/sd

wodim --devices
wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0  dev='/dev/sg2'  rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'BDDVDRW CH08LS10'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

cdrecord -scanbus 
scsibus2:
    2,0,0   200) 'HL-DT-ST' 'BDDVDRW CH08LS10' '2.00' Removable CD-ROM

fdisk dont even lists it. Ubuntu only automounts blank DVDs, but neither CDROM nor Blurays. I also changed the sata slot, sata cable and the power cable. The drive works with a windows system.

This happens when I try to mount:

sudo mount -t auto /dev/scd0 /media/bluray
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

I tried all filesystems there are.

I also installed makemkv. It finds the drive but not the disc.

Here is my /dev

ls -al /dev

my udf mod is:

filename:       /lib/modules/3.0.0-14-generic/kernel/fs/udf/udf.ko
license:        GPL
description:    Universal Disk Format Filesystem
author:         Ben Fennema
srcversion:     6ABDE012374D96B9685B8E5
depends:        crc-itu-t
vermagic:       3.0.0-14-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 

Do I need special drivers or mods enabled? Do I need to change some BIOS settings?

edit: Somehow I am now able to fire the mount command without any filesystem errors, but now I get:

mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0

Solution

Did you try the udf type?

mount -t udf /dev/scd0 /media/bluray

This question appears to be abandoned and unanswered, could you perhaps add more detail to your question? If this question no longer applies then you can either delete it or answer it yourself if you've solved the problem. Thanks!

[Stephan Schielke]

You can delete it if you want. I have not found a solution. Damn the Bluray format!

[Stephan Schielke]

As mentioned in my question I did try all filesystems mentioned in the manual of mount. I also tried CDs DVDs and Bluray-discs.

[Caesium]

Ok, was the error when you used -t udf still "you must specify the filesystem type"? Is the udf module available? (modinfo udf)

[Stephan Schielke]

it was "you must specify the filesystem type".
