Hi, I have some trouble getting filessytems mountet that are symbolic links only. I have some scripts running that copy specific files from cdroms into specific directories within my home area. These scripts must be run on different machines (hosted by different OSs) from time to time. The problem is the not standarized mount point for the cdrom device.
Solaris: /cdrom/cdrom0 Red Hat: /mnt/cdrom Debian: /cdrom Therefore, I have a symbolic link in all my home directories pointing to the reall mount point. The link is called "cdrom". So I usually do like this: $ cd $ mount cdrom/ This worked fine on Debian since hamm or somewhat earlier. Now that I switched to woody, it says like: mount: can't find /home/jexss/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab This is, in fact, correct, since /home/jexss/cdrom is a symbolic link only. Anyway: Why can't I mount the cdrom drive that way anymore? Is that kind of a security feature or did I just miss the point? I couldn't find anything in the manual pages. Someone who can help me? Thanks a lot, Jan.
