Problems mounting CD

M

Hi everyone!

I am trying to mount the CD typing this:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom mnt/cdrom

And I received this error:

Code: 
mount: /dev/cdrom : Operation not supported by device

Can you help me please??

Thanks in advance
 
Yes, I am root.

I tried: mount -t iso9660 /dev/acd0 mnt/cdrom and it says the same

I tried mount -t udf and it looks like it has executed but I can't find the files of my CD anywhere. Maybe dev/cdrom is not correct, I haven't "touched" anything there, should I modify something there??

Thanks everyone
 
Yep, that iso part is non-existent in mount(8).

See:

Code: 
$ mount -t [B]iso[/B]9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt     
mount: /dev/acd0 : Operation not supported by device
$ mount -t [B]cd[/B]9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt
mount_cd9660: /dev/acd0: Operation not permitted (ran this as non-root user)
 
This is my solution:

1. add this line to /etc/devfs.conf:
Code: 
perm	acd0	0660
2. add my account(fender) to operatoer group:
Code: 
# pw group mod operator -m fender
3. mkdir in /mnt and chown properly:
Code: 
drwxr-xr-x  2 fender  operator  512 Aug  5 20:43 fender01
drwxr-xr-x  2 fender  operator  512 Aug  5 20:43 fender02
drwxr-xr-x  2 fender  operator  512 Aug  5 20:43 fender03
drwxr-xr-x  2 fender  operator  512 Aug  5 20:43 fender04
drwxr-xr-x  2 fender  operator  512 Aug  5 20:43 fender05
4.prevent hal to mount cd device and usb device:
Code: 
% cd /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/
% ls
10-ignore-usb.fdi	20-ignore-cdrom.fdi
% cat 10-ignore-usb.fdi 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="freebsd.driver" string="da">
      <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>
% cat 20-ignore-cdrom.fdi 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="freebsd.driver" string="acd">
      <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>
5. mount something:
Code: 
% df -h

/dev/ad12s1a    496M     36M    420M     8%    /

The acd0 is the freebsd_7.2_release installation disk, and da0 is a removable disk with only one file system--UFS.

Welcome suggestion!
 
I know this post is two years old. However, I wanted to point out that I had this problem and solved it if it helps anyone out :)

The problem still occurs even if you do #mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mnt/dvdrom.

Having used Solaris at university over a decade ago I have basic UNIX experience, but no knowledge of FreeBSD or any other non-Windows(r) OS. I immediately started walking my way through man pages and trying basic troubleshooting steps. I tried searching the 'net for my problem, but found nothing. After a long chain of troubeshooting logic I won't reproduce in detail here, I realized that /proc was not mounted.

It appears that mount won't work properly if /proc is not mounted, but I didn't investigate any further as I'd solved my problem (I may well get curious later and go and look at the source to find out how mount actually works in FreeBSD)

I did #mount -t procfs none /proc after which #mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mnt/dvdrom worked. I then added /proc to my /etc/fstab and have not had any more problems - the installer does not do this for you; it's perhaps very Windows-user like for me to expect that it should ;)

I am running on an old version of VMWare (can't upgrade due to CPU not meeting requirements) so YMMV, but I hope this helps someone as I was unable to find a solution by searching the 'net and had to use my own brain :)

My /etc/fstab has this
Code: 
proc    /proc           procfs          rw      0       0
I vaguely remember putting that there myself at some point, but don't remember what prompted me. Probably CD drive mounting. :) I'm not sure what the technical reason is for not having it mounted by default, but I guess it's security related. Anyway, I'm glad you found the solution.
 
Just checked on FreeBSD 10-stable, and procfs(5) is not required for mounting an ISO9660 CD, at least with a plain FreeBSD system. There could be some interaction with permissions and an automounter, or possibly something specific to virtualization.
