CentOS 5.3 Mount Issue

29t88 · 09-15-2009, 03:52 PM

Hey guys, as you all know im a newbie to CentOS.
I Used To Run RH And To Mount My CDROM (Same computer so it should get the drivers)
Now
I used to just need to run this command
First off to get the eject device we run

Code:

eject -n

then get

Code:

eject: device is '/dev/hdc'

Then We Run

Code:

[root@localhost mnt]# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

We were getting this error before when running that:

Code:

Error: no mount point found

So i created the directory now i get

Code:

mount: no medium found

Im not a computer god> ive used linux for a long time but never had this issue, then again ive never really used CentOS Till now,
So far i love centos this little issue is starting to ruin it though, any help would be great!

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt works for me.

Hi 29t88,

With RH, mount will work without any directory as we mount CD-ROM over /mnt itself. Not very sure about CentOS...

try:
a) mkdir /mnt/test
b) mount /dev/hdc /mnt/test
It should work for you, as it worked for me just now.

Rather than mounting CD-ROM everytime, why don't you make a permanent mount-point fro CD-ROM...by editing /etc/fstab

Cheers,
Kapil

Thank you for this, but i still get this error

Code:

mount: no medium found

What does this mean?

Code:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/

@OP
Are you sure there is a disc in the cdrom drive?

29t88 · 09-16-2009, 03:57 AM

Tried that, still getting the same old
mount: no medium found

29t88 · 09-16-2009, 04:00 AM

Yes im sure> because i do not have an internet connection on this server and have it on 3 computer test network that my computers with internet are not connected to, i download packages (In This Case Webmin And Bind) And Mount a Cd Of Them, I just cant get it to work

29t88 · 09-16-2009, 04:05 AM

aright, ive done somthing different: Ran it as a different account (Not root) And it works Strange right?

29t88 · 09-16-2009, 04:08 AM

Cancel that > I get:
Mount: block device is /dev/hdc is write protected, mounting read-only Witch is good so i thought it mounted but then i get
mount: you must specify the file system type

Could it be because i burned it with the windows burning wizard?
