How to mount cdrom in RHEL


df -k

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
18219452 7672380 9606632 45% /
/dev/sda1 101086 10907 84960 12% /boot
tmpfs 533952 0 533952 0% /dev/shm
localhost.localdomain:/dev/mvfs
18219452 7672380 9606632 45% /view
localhost.localdomain:/vobstore01/test_vob.vbs
18219452 7672380 9606632 45% /vobs/test_vob
/dev/hdc 2943222 2943222 0 100% /media/RHEL_5.3 i386 DVD

The listing above shows the cdrom device is /dev/hdc, we then create a folder to use as out mount point

mkdir -p /media/cdrom

The command above creates the entire path if it does't already exist

mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom

mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
