Actually, the line

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0

is what you need to add to "/etc/fstab" to get your cdrom working.
Sorry if I did not express myself correctly.

Well, you can not change permissions to read and write, because the
cdrom is a read-only media. Yes, I know you are able to burn a CD or a
DVD, but it is not considered as writable media and it is mounted as a
read-only file system.

Just try by adding that line to your fstab, and if that does not work,
then try to mount it manually as Eduardo Otubo says:

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

And post the output here.

Or:

$ dmesg | grep CD

and:

$ ls -la /dev/cd*

Dear Mick & Richard,

This is the output after i mount it manually:

mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-proctected, mounting read-only

Well,

I think you did it, man!
Just check out your /mnt/cdrom and see if your files are there :-)

Norman,

Good, you did it, you mounted your cdrom. That message is just a
warning, and it is only extra information that the "mount" command
shows you, so you do not have to face any surprises.

That warning is only telling you (as I said before) that your cdrom is
a read-only media.

If you want cdrom to automatically mount when you insert a cd, just
add this line to your /etc/fstab:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0

And that should work just fine.

Regards,

Richard.

Sorry, but that's nonsense. It tells the mount command that it should try to
guess the filesystem type.

Dirk,

Yes, I know. That is how it is explained as an example in the Gentoo
Linux Handbook Chapter 8 [1] and it has worked for me so far. I am
sure that you could specify one file system type, but I am not too
sure if this really works at any case because a DVD could not follow
the ISO 9660 standard. As far as I know, some DVD's use the UDF
format.


Regards,

Richard.

Yes, what I wrote what "auto" is for. "mount" will find out wether the media
is iso9660 or udf, but it will _not_ cause the media to be mounted
automatically when inserted, as you wrote previously.

Dirk

In fact,

To we get those things really automactly mounted, we need to install
and configure 'ivman' and 'hald'. For those who speaks portuguese I
have a great tutorial writen by a friend of mine:

Dirk,

Sorry, I had misunderstood.

But believe it or not, that way works fine for me. I insert a cdrom
and gets automatically (or automagically maybe) mounted.

I do not know, maybe is something about Gnome, but have no idea.

Regards,

Richard.
