mounting problems

[[the]Punisher]

i'm having trouble mounting my dvd/cd+rw drive in Mandrake 9.1 under the KDE Environment. I go to Konsole (super user mode) and type

mount /mnt/cdrom

then nothing happens. I try to access it to see if it worked... nope. I was wondering if the little lock next to the icon had anything to do with this because in the dialogue area on Konqurer (sp?) says that it is a locked directory. I was just wondering how I could resolve this problem so that i could start using my drive to install new programs.
thanks.

You need to tell it which device to mount to the mount point and you MUST have a CD/DVD in there. Try this:

mount /dev/dvdrom /mnt/cdrom

OR

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

you probably are using supermount and its causing problems. either switch to autofs and do what msm said as well, or try

supermount -i disable

as root. then do what msm said (this is of course if she didn't fix the problem already)

i had to type 'mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom'
thanks MsM & erOK. the only problem is, now when i go to unmount at the super-user konsole, i type 'unmount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom' and i get the error that says the there is no such sommand as unmount. WTF? I also tried to right-click and unmount as root but it was unsuccessful. Is there any way to unmount it other than those? Thanks!

try "umount" not unmount (no "n")

Thanks, the momentary Dyslexia must have kicked in. Kudos to you all!
