I eject the CD-RW, inser it again and try to mount it:
>> root at darkstar:~# mount /home/samiel/debian-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso
>> /media/cdrom
>> mount: /media/cdrom0: WARNING: source write-protected, mounted read-only.
> So the drive itself is still operational after the mishap.


Yes, but only as root, not as a simple user

I installed on testing (kernel 5.14...) the kernel 5.10 from stable

(backports), but I received the same error


Thank you for your job!:)
