To mount a CD-ROM in Linux, you will need to follow these steps:
Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Determine the device name of the CD-ROM drive. Run the lsblk
command to list the block devices on your system. Look for the device name of the CD-ROM drive. It will be listed under the NAME
column. The device name will typically be in the form /dev/cdrom
or /dev/sr0
.
Create a mount point for the CD-ROM. A mount point is a directory where the CD-ROM will be mounted. Create a directory for the mount point using the mkdir
command. For example:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount
command to mount the CD-ROM on the mount point you created. For example:mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
Replace /dev/sr0
with the actual device name of your CD-ROM drive.
The CD-ROM will now be mounted on the /mnt/cdrom
mount point. You can access the files on the CD-ROM by navigating to this directory.
umount
command to unmount the CD-ROM:umount /mnt/cdrom
