Place a CD-ROM in the CD-Rom drive, and the automount daemon will mount it to /CDROM
Linux
You must mount the CD-ROM manually from the shell using one of the following commands
- mount /mnt/dvdr
- mount /mnt/dvd
- mount /mnt/cdr
- mount /mnt/cdrom
After that, the directories of your CD-ROM should be present under /mnt/cdrom (or whichever of the above).
When you want to eject the cdrom, you must first unmount it:
umount /mnt/cdrom
It is possible that you get something like this when you try to unmount:
umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
That means the cdrom is still used by a process on your system: This might mean that you have a shell open in that directory or that you may have launched an application while in that directory. Close any application opened fro that directory or cd out of the cdrom’s directory
To know which one, type:
fuser /mnt/cdrom
This will output the pid of the process that is owning the CDROM.
You will get something like this:
/mnt/cdrom: 5207c
where 5207 is the PID of the process.
You can verify the name of the process by typing:
ps -u username
where username is your user name.
You can then close the program or kill it with:
kill -9 pid
where pid is the id of process to kill.
