Mount CD filetype Difficulty
by hbackus from LinuxQuestions.org on (#538SX)
I have a software install CD for an OpenVMS system. I am trying to read the files on it on USB CDROM player attached to my Linux PC by USB.
The reason for trying to read it on my Linux PC is the original support manuals have been lost and copies of the manuals in PostScript are on the CDROM disk.
lsusb shows the USB CDROM device.
When I try to mount the CD to read I get the message ...remote share not in host:dir' format..."
I have tried:
sudo mount -t nfs /dev/cdrom /mnt
sudo mount -t nfs4 /dev/cdrom /mnt
sudo mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt
sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
Any assistance on syntax or why I can't mount the CD for reading would be appreciated.
