I decided I needed major help with this one - in other words, a walk-through. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I was working and shoved a CD into my laptop as I do every once in a |
| 4 |
while (not that often - I'm happy to use the network 99.99999999999% |
| 5 |
of the time). |
| 6 |
|

Well, I stuck it in, and there wasn't any automounter action that I |
| 8 |
could see, so I wisely (for me, at least) went to fstab to find this: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
> localhost ~ # cat /etc/fstab |
| 11 |
> /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 |
| 12 |
> /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 |
| 13 |
> /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 0 1 |
| 14 |
> none /proc proc defaults 0 0 |
| 15 |
> none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
| 16 |
> /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat noauto,async,user,exec 0 0 |
| 17 |
|

My CD drive wasn't listed. Big surprise. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
To be more specific about the hardware I'm using, I'm using a CD |
| 21 |
RW/DVD-ROM drive in the docking station to my X40. Here's all the |
| 22 |
relevant entries from /dev that could help. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Oops... tried "cat /dev/dvd..." didn't work too well. Started |
| 25 |
reading the *whole* contents of the CD. Gotta remember that next |
| 26 |
time... |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Well, now it complains that no medium is found. However, it looks |
| 29 |
like it's listed as /dev/hdc in addition to what I assume are aliases |
| 30 |
as /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrom, and /dev/cdrw. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Sorry I can't be more precise, but I'd like some help with sticking |
| 33 |
this in fstab so that I can mount the disk and then use it. I'm so |
| 34 |
darn inexperienced with this. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
There isn't anything from /etc/mtab that could help, either: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
> localhost etc # cat mtab |
| 39 |
> /dev/hda3 / ext3 rw 0 0 |
| 40 |
> proc /proc proc rw 0 0 |
| 41 |
> sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 |
| 42 |
> udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0 |
| 43 |
> devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 |
| 44 |
> cachedir /lib/splash/cache tmpfs rw 0 0 |
| 45 |
> /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 rw 0 0 |
| 46 |
> none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 |
| 47 |
> usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85 0 0 |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I'm flummoxed. I don't even know where to begin, since anything I can |
| 50 |
try and Google will most likely not be for my system. Any help or |
| 51 |
pointers? |
