CDs and DVDs are always mounted read-only. Writing to them requires a
different technique than reading them, and they are normally only
written to when they are _not_ mounted.

No. "noauto" in the mount options in /etc/fstab simply means that the
filesystem is not mounted automatically at boot time. You don't want to
have the system start looking for a filesystem on a CD/DVD to mount at
boot time. ;-)

The only way I can mount it is in the Terminal, and then I can't access the files, I can only see the names.

Your there then, as far as being able to access the data on the DVD media. Now you can access these files via your filemanager/shell or text editor, or whatever application by drilling to the filesystem mount point for the optical device. Like say you want to open a html file in your browser, just use File>>Open File and drill to /mnt/dvd/your_html_file.html and it would load in your browser. Or use your filemanager to open the files in whatever app you need, by drilling to the mount point (/mnt/dvd in this case) with your filemanager. Also check your /etc/fstab file for something like: /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 Add them and edit for the mount points you choose to use with the optical device or devices you have. I don't setup any auto mounting features for DVD, CDROM etc. I have always just manually mounted them to access them. So somebody else that has setup such is going to have to take it from there if you want that setup properly. I just use fstab and command line to mount, umount devices. Well, I do set it all up in fstab and use the kwikdisk application from my fluxbox system tray for quick access.

Thanks, I'll find that /mnt/dvd/myfiles and try to create a link to it, so I can just click on it to display the files.

I created a symbolic link in Documents to /media/dvd, but I still have to mount the drive in the Terminal. Once mounted, I can then click the link in Documents, and have access to all the files on the DVD. root@johnnyspc:/home/johnny/Documents# ln -s /media/cdrom I'm still trying to figure out why the DVD is not mounted automatically. I have the same version of Wheezy on another computer, and when I insert a DVD, the DVD icon automatically appears in the File System. This is what is in /fstab: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> # swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation UUID=e5ef892e-a139-49f1-9b3b-7d8bd7db1539 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0

I don't like automounting, but to the best of my knowledge, if you want
a removable storage medium mounted automatically, then my experience
says that you should _not_ have a record for it in /etc/fstab, let alone
three.

I'm going to check /fstab and /media on my other computer and see what the difference is.
