(might be technicly incorrect, but should help to understand the general behaviour)
When using discs on other machines (which both a NAS/SAN or any kind of server is) then its up to that machine wether it can 'read' the filesystem on its very own (local) disc.
When you access the drive of that machine, you are using the (i dont know proper term, so i call it) network protocol CIFS.
Meaning, the server is reading localy its files from... ext4/ntfs/hps/whatever... and sends it as CIFS to the machine you are using.
So then, the partition of the servers discs appears on your local system, and when you check, it says its filesystem is CIFS.
That is a 'layer' which then translates your actions to the filesystem actualy used for that disc on the server.
Hope this helps

NAME
cdde - Compact Disc Detect & Execute
SYNOPSIS
cdde [-c filename] [-rbvVh]
DESCRIPTION
cdde is a program that detects when a cdrom drive on your system has had a disc inserted.
When it finds a disc inserted in the drive it will attempt to determine the type of the disc, and execute a specified command.
This means you can put in a dvd and your favorite dvd software will start, or put in a data cd and it will be automatically mounted for
you.
Right now cdde can detect the following types of discs:
* audio cd
* data cd
* dvd
* mixed audio/data cd
* vcd
* svcd
* blank cdr/dvdr
For now the dvd checking is just a bit of magic that checks to see if there's a "video_ts" directory on the disc. Same goes for the vcd
checking: it just looks for a "vcd" directory on the disc.
cdde reads its configuration from "~/.cdde.xml" unless otherwise specified on the command line.
OPTIONS
-r, --run
Run commands on disc already in drive when is started.
-b, --batch
Batch mode: check all drives once then exit. (implies -r)
-c, --config <filename>
Use the config file <filename>. (Default is ~/.cdde.xml)
-v, --verbose
Print out lots of information.
-V, --version
Print out version information.
-h, --help
Print Display this help and exit.
FILES
~/.cdde.xml
