mount
Posted on 2004-08-03
Hi i have REdhat 9.0 with the lilo loader.
I have to setup my system so it automatically mounts my CD-ROM every time that I start up my system. I want to mount my CD-ROM into /mnt/test directory. But i have to make sure that the filesystem for the CD-ROM is iso9660.
thanks
i appreciate your help.
thanks again
new to linux so please give a little clear instructions.

You have to edit the /etc/fstab file

specifically you have to add/modify the line containing cdtom
/dev/hdc /mnt/test iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0

this is the line i believe i must change but what must i change i don't want to mess up.
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
you just change the /mnt/cdrom to /mnt/test since you said
>>I want to mount my CD-ROM into /mnt/test directory.
other than that there should not be any changes. But if you are paranoid just take a backup of the file ( and also take a second opinion cos I myself have never had to change that file )
