When i try to mount a cdrom in my cdrom drive nothing happens.What can i do,pls?This is my /etc/fstab

Code: [Select]

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# The following is an example. Please see fstab(5) for further details.
# Please refer to mount(1) for a complete description of mount options.
#
# Format:
# <file system>   <mount point>   <type>   <options>   <dump> <pass>
#
# dump(8) uses the <dump> field to determine which file systems need
# to be dumped. fsck(8) uses the <pass> column to determine which file
# systems need to be checked--the root file system should have a 1 in
# this field, other file systems a 2, and any file systems that should
# not be checked (such as MS-initrd/mnt or NFS file systems) a 0.

# The Linux partitions

# Floppy disks
# The 'noauto' option indicates that the file system should not be mounted

This is the output of mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Code: [Select]

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/cdrom already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdc is already mounted on /mnt/cdrom
Thank you in advance.

Please the version you are using.

After the command mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
go to /mnt/cdrom and your files will be there.

Unless you are using a music cd which does not
get mounted.

Gafran,

Music CD's are not mounted as data CD's, because they don't have a filesystem that can be mounted, as Bigpaws pointed out in his reply to you. Instead, put the music CD into the CD or DVD drive and use something like Mplayer to play the music on the CD.

Hope this helps.
John
