Need Help Mounting DVD

I've gotten through most of the preparations for installing Starcraft II in the wine. I'm having trouble figuring out this whole Fstab deal. I think I understand how it works, but lack the knowledge to implement it. It seems mighty unorganized, and I'm running a little blind on whether or not my entries are working or even set up properly. I've read quite a bit of the documentation. It seems like I'm just not catching on yet. any help is appreciated.

Re: Need Help Mounting DVD

I believe udev handles items like USB and CD/DVD.  See the wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev.  You may have to click on the device under Thunar/PCmanFM/SpaceFM first to get them to use udev to mount. 

For questions on fstab, I would post your fstab and ask specific questions (i.e., what is this line for, why does this look like this, etc.).  Then maybe we can help more.

Re: Need Help Mounting DVD

Do I need to make any changes like that just to mount a DVD? All I'm looking to accomplish here is to mount the DVD and install starcraft. Every way I've tried to mount it has produced an error saying the entry is no in the Fstab. The DVD needs to be manually mounted so I can see the hidden files on it.

Re: Need Help Mounting DVD

When reading the Arch Wiki Udev page linked above, did you check out the Automounting UDisks Wrappers section? Its right near the top.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … s_Wrappers

I'm using the udisksvm/traydevice wrapper & I use no lines in my /etc/fstab for optical media (CD of DVD).

If you are interested in using the udisksvm/traydevice wrapper have a look at this:
