# mount -t cdfs /dev/disk/cdrom0c /mnt ;/dev/disk/cdrom0c being the cdrom device file and /mnt being the mount point.

How can i define the cd device file , so that i will know before mounting it?

[Venkatesh BL]

It must be there by default. Do you have multiple CD drive?. Check the /dev/disk/cdrom* files.

Hi,

the name of the cdrom device depends on the os version. In 5.x proceed as BL suggests. In 4.x use scu show edt to discover the target and the use /dev/rz"target"c as device name.

greetings,

Michael

If you use V5 (sizer -v), use the:

hwmgr show scsi

or

hwmgr v d

Commands to discover the cdrom special file.

If you use version 4, you could use the following command:

uerf -R -r 300

Or

file /dev/rrz*

Are you trying to mount this CD across a network connection and/or from a Tru64unix system ?

If not, you might want to relist the question in the appropriate conference. This conference is specific to network questions on Tru64unix platforms.

I just followed what the guys suggested and it works for me.
