RE: cdrom stopped making noise
1) It is not a Linux problem.
2) Instead of buying the fastest CD-ROM, by a good one
(my Toshiba x 40 cost 50 Sheqels more then Unknown x 50, but it is
GOOD).
3) Try to change the "read ahead" or some sound-like parameters. If you will
Increase your buffer then maybe it won't try to allocate file position
so frequently.
