Support knowledgebase (js_pd)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: All versions

Situation:

You want to use a phase-change drive (PD) with Linux but you are not able to address your PD media.

Procedure:

Unfortunately, PD drives are not completely supported by Linux yet. At present they can only be used as CD-ROM drives.

A PD drive is mounted like an ordinary CD-ROM drive:
#> mount -t iso9660 /dev/<your_PD_drive>  /cdrom

Keywords: PD, DRIVE, PHASE, CHANGE, CD
