Mount DVD on CentOS

Mount DVD on CentOS

Need to mount CD/DVD on CentOS temporarily or permanently? Here's the Process Us Linux Pro ' s follow:

Login to a terminal window as root

From here to Ls/dev

As you can see, there's alot of stuff here (usually it's S/dvd or/sr0) but what can we be sure?

Issue the following-commands to find out-what Linux thinks is the CD/DVD ROM:

Ls/dev-l | grep DVD

Ls/dev-l | grep CD

Linux seems pretty confident that it's s/dev/sr0 (does Windows know how does that?) Your situation may provide different output, use that.

Alright, so at this point, we is talking about the following device: /dev/sr0

Let's make a directory for mount it to:

Mkdir/mnt/dvd

From this, all we had to-do are mount the device

To does a temporary mount (one time only until reboot) issue the following Command:

To do a permanent boot, edit/etc/fstab

Like a good Linux Admin, with the # sign, and put a comment in

From HERE/DEV/SR0 would be mounted to/mnt/dvd the filesystem type and filesystem defaults

Save and quit

Issue the Almighty Linux Command that re-mounts all filesystems

You should get a notice that it'll mount as read-only, that means it mounted, and we can read from it, perfect!

Ls/mnt/dvd

As you can see this is a integration services DVD mounted on this CentOS Linux Box.

That ' s it!
