Title: cd-rom automount?
Post by: sander on September 13, 2001, 02:40:30 AM

Is there some kind of rpm tht automounts cd-rom drive on drive insrt and unmounts it when cd is taken out?

But can anyone help a non linux user to mount and unmount commands of floppy drive and cd-rom drive.

I have done this sort of rhing on other Linux versions by editing the smb.conf file and inserting preexec and postexec directives for the CD-ROM share.  You can probably do this with e-smith using the templates-custom feature, but I'm not in a position to check it out right now.

Mounting floppy and CD-ROM (usually):

mount /dev/floppy
mount /dev/cdrom

Remember to umount when done!

This assumes entries in /etc/fstab exitst.  Let me know if this wasn't sufficient.
