The problem is that it isn't "mounted" in the traditional way we think of it. This is what GVFS is all about, it's a "virtual file system" which allows X-windows applications to access devices without mounting them. This is why "mount" doesn't show it - it wasn't mounted by mount.
You can probably do what you're looking for by mounting it yourself. mount /dev/cdrom /mnt should be a beginning - if you get an error, it should at least be a hint. -wes On Thu, Dec 26, 2013 at 12:23 PM, John Jason Jordan <[email protected]>wrote: > On Thu, 26 Dec 2013 12:06:44 -0800 (PST) > Rich Shepard <[email protected]> dijo: > > >On Thu, 26 Dec 2013, John Jason Jordan wrote: > > > >> That's what I tried first, but it does not show the CDROM, even > >> though Thunar sees the files on it: > > > >John, > > > > Do you have a mount point defined in /etc/fstab for your optical > > drive?
