Mandriva-user Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I lock on root,went to root all the way up to mnt and my dvd is on cdrom 2 and it is lock. So I try rename to DVD-ROM it couldn`t rename is there other way to unlock CDrom2 and rename it to DVD-rom,because I like to rename it so on my desktop will be not confused with CDROM and CDROM2 so I will know which is dvd or cd-rom. Thank you for your cooperation . Mandrake-user PS: I try from cdrom2 to rename it to DVD-ROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 from what i can understand you want to mount your DVD drive to /mnt/dvd (or something like it)? if that is so, just edit your /etc/fstab and change the instance of /mnt/cdrom2 to /mnt/dvd. save the file and execute # mount -a . note that you may want to issue # umount /mnt/cdrom2 first before doing the steps above. ciao!

Cannonfodder Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Mandrake-user, What this means is.. /etc/fstab has entry for where to mount. Such as /mnt/cdrom2. If you want to mount at /mnt/dvd, then you must change /etc/fstab first! 1. Make a new folder /mnt/dvd. 2. Unmount /mnt/cdrom umount /mnt/cdrom 3. Edit /etc/fstab. Find entry and change to /mnt/dvd. 4. Now remount.. mount -a Basically what ramfree17 said, but I added step numbers :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
