User Feedback :: Mounting CDROMs

The mount for CD option is present with mount tool in Live CD but its not there in HD intalled DSL. How to activate/ solve this issue. This problem is also present in DSl 2.0

I have full HD (not Frugal) install. It was easy to mount the CD-ROM drive. I did it like your attempt, but the path I used was different. From the terminal:

mount /cdrom

and that's all. I can then access the contents of CD-ROM within Emelfm, under /cdrom.

It appears that /dev/cdrom or /dev/auto/cdrom will not mount the drive.

/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0 #mnt

Even after changing this in /etc/fstab CDROM does not appear in Mount tool.
I even restarted the system and checked once again. Im using DSL 2.4

Mounting and Unmounting through commands is perfectly working.

The instructions I gave were for an HD install and I use nofstab on the boot line to prevent my fstab file from being over written each time. If you are using frugal or liveCD then the fstab will be over written. Are you restoring the fstab file (check it to make sure your changes are still there).

Actually i dint gave any boot options. Inside DSL the contents of the /etc/fstab file is edited and then saved. But the mont tool is not updated.

Not sure what is going on because I can edit my fstab file, save it, and open the mount tool and the changes are there (if you have the mount tool already open you must close it to get it to see the changes). If I go back in and undo my changes and open the mount tool again the changes are there, I can do this as many times as I want and each time I open the mount tool again the changes are visible.

Do you have an HD install or a frugal install? Not sure if it makes a difference or not but it may help to know.

If you want changes made automatically to fstab, have them done from /opt/bootlocal.sh. This will make the changes before dsl logs in, and before the mount tool is opened.
