Linux USB DVD drive

This works for an autodetected external usb dvd player.

Create mount point for the dvd.

mkdir /dvd

Add symbolic link to /dev/sr0

ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd

Now mount the dvd.

mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd /dvd

Edit /etc/fstab to enable automounting.

/dev/sr0 /dvd auto user,noauto 0 0
