What version of UNIX are you using?

What is the syntax of your mount command?

This is a typical mount command.

mount -f cdfs -ro /dev/acd0c /cdrom

where "-f cdfs" is the device type for the cdrom, /cdrom is the mount point and /dev/acd0c is the device.


Show us your mount command and type of UNIX please.
