I tried that command "mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom" and I get
"you must specify the filesystem type" so i tried
"mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom" and get
"mount: mount point /media/cdrom does not exist" This is in my
RHEL 5 install in my RHEL4 install the floppy and cdrom are already
in the /media directory.
Tes, I doing this as root. Yes, the /media directory exist. That is
the thing in rhel 4 it was automatic. I do not know hwat I did
different in rhel 5.
Yes it tells me that it doe not exist when I try to mount it but I can do
'ls /' and see the media directory. I can do a 'ls /media/ and there is
no files under this directory. I then do a 'mkdir /media/cdrom' and after
this I do 'mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom' and it tell s me that it does
not exist.
I thought that auto mounting to the /media directory was handled by a udev rule or nautilus. Isn't that the case? You should not be required to create a /media/cdrom directory.
