CDrom busy


Hello

I can't mount my cdrom. When I try to acces my cdrom this pops up:

mount: /dev/sdc already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy

Here's my fstab

What prints out to the terminal when you give the command `mount` without any options?

If you give the command `unmount /mnt/cdrom`, what happens?

What distro are you using? If the CD has already been mounted, you should be able to see its contents by going to the /mnt/<mountpoint>

Hussar also has a good point, and if the CD has already been mounted, the "umount" command will unmount it. -- J.W.
