mount Cdrom

I am using QNXRTP 6.0
I would like to know how to mount cdroms so as to read them.
I looked over in support docs; the only thing I got was the reference to
fs-cd
When I try to creat a directory to it in /fs/ I am told that such a
directory cannot be created.
How do I solve this?

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Hi

Most probably they are already automounted in /fs/cd0 , cd1 etc

if not, you can mount them with
mount -tcd /dev/cd0 /fs/mycd

I do no think that you would mount an audio cd. I know that under

Linux, I do not mount (nor do I think it is possible) audio CDs.

Instead, you might try pointing to application to /dev/cd0 (or
whatever it is) directly. I don’t know if this will work, again, it
is the same thing that I do under Linux.

HTH.

When I try an audio cd, phplay gives an error saying ‘Can’t open the
Cdrom’
I seached for another player, but none seems to be found.
Any idea? Tnamks.

I finally found how to use Cd audios:
I use playAudioCd /fs/cdrom, after having mounted it as mount -tcd /dev/cd0 /fs/cdrom

I cannot use MediaPlayer…

Am I doing it right?

Andrew answered your question in another post of yours.
Change your mount line so you are mounting the cd as /fs/cd0

Then the MediaPlayer should work for you.
