Mount CD from command line in RedHat

How to mount a CD in RedHat

First, we need to find out where the block device is;

blkid

Which will give us something like;

The above is from RHEL 7.8 running virtually.

We can see the iso9660 device is at /dev/sr0

We may also need to create a mount point, something like /mnt/iso is good and of course we can do this with;

mkdir /mnt/iso

We can also check the /etc/fstab entry for a mount point and if one exists,

we can try mount -a or mount --all

Finally, we can mount the CD by mount device dir or in our example;

mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/iso
