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!
