I am using a DEC alpha 3000 with an alpha_osf32 operating system on an
AFS file system. What is the command to mount a cdrom on my machine?
I tried something link:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
but didn't work.
--------------
Note 1: Saying `didn't work' is not
helpful when trying to assist people. I
should have given a better description of
what didn't work.
--------------
Note 2: If I want Rock Ridge compatability, I need
to use the flag: cdfs and not iso9660.
-------------
Note 3: I need to know the device that corresponds to the cdrom. The
brute force method of finding this is using the command:
> file /dev/r* | more
The Digital supported CDROM will be a RRD model number.
--------------
Note 4: The mounting command goes something like:
> mount -t cdfs /dev/rz4c /cdrom
or
> mount -t cdfs -r -o nodefperm,noversion /dev/rz4c /cdrom.

Unfortunately, when I use either mount commmand, I get the return:
> /usr/sbin/mount -t cdfs /dev/rrz4c ~/cdrom
/dev/rrz4c on /afs/ce.cmu.edu/user/msda/cdrom: Device busy
So I tried:
> /usr/sbin/umount /dev/rrz4c
/dev/rrz4c: not currently mounted
It looks like something else must be up with my system. I'll have to
search around to figure out what's wrong.
in either event,
thanks for all your help,
Mike.
