'Not a directory?'

blkmage · 11-28-2003, 03:12 PM

When I tried 'mount /dev/cdrom' and 'mount /mnt/cdrom' I got 'mount: Not a directory.'

What happen? What do I need to do to get this CD mounted?

mkdir /mnt/cdrom

Cheers,

Make sure you have the cdrom in your /etc/fstab file as a mount point, if not you will have to give the full mount command to mount it.

Like Tink said, make the empty directory if it isn't there, then do a:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

If you have a fstab entry, check to see what directory it has to mount the cdrom to by default, etc.

There's nothing in /mnt/cdrom and the fstab entry is there. It mounts to /mnt/cdrom

/mnt/cdrom is there too.
