Insert disk and mount it as root


Mounting a disk by beying root disables the eject button as well.

Hey MS-outLINUX-in! - Good on you adding to an existing thread. A tip: please note the date on the thread you are replying to. This was started some years ago. Also, pay close attention to the question:

Quote:
Q: How can I disable the eject button on my CD-ROM drive when there's NO disc in the drive?
Attempting the mount command in that case will just return an error.
