How to mount CD/DVD ROM

By OK -

Locate Block device

First we need to find a correct CD/DVD block device. To do this execute a command blkid:
# blkid
/dev/xvda1: UUID="b4f59ae4-f5c8-49c2-94cf-103e10eef407" TYPE="xfs" 
/dev/xvda2: UUID="zcwKzx-w2EM-NH4E-wQW3-7QTu-62JZ-s6Ok0j" TYPE="LVM2_member" 
/dev/sr0: UUID="2016-10-19-18-32-06-00" LABEL="RHEL-7.3 Server.x86_64" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="dos" 
/dev/mapper/rhel-root: UUID="ea637699-1d70-49ef-9a0a-54bc87d1e571" TYPE="xfs" 
/dev/mapper/rhel-swap: UUID="617ccf82-602c-472d-bff6-484d95530293" TYPE="swap"
Take a note of the relevant block device eg. /dev/sr0 and optionally also take a note of the shown UUID 2016-10-19-18-32-06-00.

Create a mount point

Next, create a new directory or use existing to be used as a mount point:
# mkdir /media/rhel7-repo-iso/

Mount CD/DVD temporarily

At this point you can mount your CD/DVD block device:

# mount /dev/sr0  /media/rhel7-repo-iso/
mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
OR
mount /dev/cdrom  /media/rhel7-repo-iso/
Your CD/DVD files should now be accessible read-only:
# ls /media/rhel7-repo-iso/
addons  EULA  images    LiveOS      Packages       repodata                 RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
EFI     GPL   isolinux  media.repo  release-notes  RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-beta  TRANS.TBL

Permanent CD/DVD mount using fstab

The above will mount your CD/DVD ROM only temporarily. In order to make this mount permanent after reboot edit /etc/fstab configuration file by adding a following line replacing UUID to match your previous blkidcommand output:

UUID=2016-10-19-18-32-06-00             /media/rhel7-repo-iso   iso9660 ro,user,auto  0 0
After the reboot of your RHEL 7 Linux, the system will mount CD/DVD ROM automatically.

NFS mount add in fstab _netdev instead of default | firewall-cmd --list-all

By OK -
Redhat recommends us to add  _netdev  option for NFS file system in /etc/fstab. So that they can be mounted after starting the networking service. Alternative ways to refer to partitions: Label : LABEL=label Network ID Samba : //server/share NFS : server:/share SSHFS : sshfs#user@server:/share Device : /dev/sdxy (not recommended) Example #1 //192.168.1.134/share_name /mnt/share_name cifs username=server_user,password=server_password,_netdev 0 0 ^ Path to your share ^ Mountpoint ^ Username ^ Password ^ See note A Note A: The  _netdev  options makes sure the mount is only attempted AFTER a network connection has been established. Example #2 10.10.10.1:/vol1/fs1 /data nfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 ============================ [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --list-all public   target: default   icmp-block-inversion: no   interfaces:   sources:   services: dhcpv6-client high-availability ssh   ports:   protocols:   masquera
