This will fail miserably on blanks, audio CDs, VCDs, SVCDs, and anything
that's not a relatively normal data CD. (Audio CDs *can* be mounted if you
apply the cdfs patch to the kernel, but almost nobody does that.) What's
more, it'll give you the same mostly-useless error message for all of those
cases. Looking at the TOC is a better general solution since it'll tell you
something useful if you have something that's got a less-common format.
