Hey gurus,
What is the correct entry in "fstab" for a dvd? Is it the same as a cdrom or slightly different? Would something like this be correct?
/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0? or /dev/hdd /media/dvd
Thanks Patrick
Hi Patrick,
These two lines are relevant:
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
And, if you DVD drive is, let's say hdd, then you need to link it:
#ln -sf /dev/hdd /dev/dvd #ln -sf /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom
Linking the DVD also to cdrom is only reasonable if you do not have a separate CD-ROM drive - which is assumed to be the case, since normally you use a DVD drive to replace a CD-ROM drive.
