CD Drive Mount
no doubt this is an easy question, but here it is anyway:
what do I type from the cl to see what cd drives are mounted and how do I mount my 52x drive. My burner already shows up in GnomeToaster Beta5, but not the 52x drive. and, how do I discern if vpn is installed on my workstation. thanks, in advance, David |
To see what is mounted, just use the mount command without any options.
As root, you need to know what place your CD has on the IDE controller... Primary Master = hda Primary Slave = hdb Secondary Master = hdc Secondary Slave = hdd You then use that in... mount -t auto /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom Of course, you need to use the correct /dev/hdX , and a valid mount point. /mnt/cdrom is pretty standard. Once you get that to work, you can create a link in /dev between hdX and cdrom, so that you can use /dev/cdrom . You can also then insert a line in /etc/fstab to allow you to mount as a regular user, with a simple mount /dev/cdrom ... Code:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 |
thanks very much.......I will let you know how these suggestions work....

I am a little confused:
[root@localhost root]# mount /dev/hdb3 on / type ext3 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) /dev/hdb1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hdb6 on /home type ext3 (rw) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/hdb7 on /tmp type ext3 (rw) /dev/hdb2 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/hdb9 on /usr/local type ext3 (rw) /dev/hdb5 on /var type ext3 (rw) [root@localhost root]# there is no hda, b, c, or d....

Your /boot is mounted on /dev/hdb1 as fstype EXT3. Your system is installed on a hard-drive on the primary/slave IDE channel. The # after the /dev/hdb is the partition on the drive. It doesn't show a listing for your burner because it wasn't currently mounted. CD drives don't have partitions, so they don't have a #. Give us a print out of your /etc/fstab , and we'll help determine where your CD drives are. It might show up as /dev/cdrom , so then you would need to ls -l /dev/cdrom to see to which device it's linked. |
