Mounting a CD-ROM Drive Locally

If the CD-ROM drive is located on your system, use the table below to determine the correct mount command for your system. In the example commands, the word <extension> represents a part of the actual device name that is site specific. For example, the full device name can include the SCSI port to which your CD-ROM drive is attached. You must supply the full device name when you use these commands.

Platform
Mount Command

Compaq Alpha
(Tru64 UNIX)
mount -t cdfs -r -o noversion /dev/rz<extension> /cdrom

HP 9000 (HP-UX)
mount -F cdfs -r /dev/dsk/c0t<extension> /cdrom

IBM RS/6000 (AIX)
mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd<extension> /cdrom

Linux
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom

On Linux systems, you may have to change the CD-ROM drive configuration from read-only to execute. By default, on Linux systems, CD-ROM drives have read-only permission.

SGI (IRIX/IRIX64)
mount -t iso9660 -o setx /dev/scsi/sc<extension> /cdrom

Sun (Solaris 2.x)
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t<extension> /cdrom

On Sun Solaris systems, the CD-ROM drive will mount automatically if the volume manager is running.
