Mount CD-ROMs as a Windows user would see them
Authored by: jerryobrecht on Jul 10, '08 11:30:04AM

Great hint. This may be related to "why I have a DVD-R (DVD ROM) that mounts as an empty folder?"

So, after final mounting, if I eject (unmount) the disc, do I need to repeat the unmount/mount sequence each time I wish to see files on the disc?

Would I use the same commands for a DVD, or would I replace "CD" with "DVD"?

Jerry

"cd /Volumes" means change directory to the /Volumes directory
and "man mount_cd9660" seems to be saying it's for more than just CDs

If you eject the disk you have to do this again.
There is no need to change any commands becuase it's a DVD.
