Hello
 

I have a data DVD that i wish to copy to a local disk but i cannot see where to mount/view it. 
The drive shows up in TOOLS > System Devices and seems to list the size of the disk itself:

[5:0:0:0]cd/dvd hp DVD A DH16ABSH YHDD /dev/sr0 3.29GB

But i cannot find it in the GUI (via Unassigned devices), Krusader or the Command Line

In the command line, this command:

lsscsi

shows:

[0:0:0:0]    disk    SanDisk  Cruzer Fit       1.00  /dev/sda 
[1:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      WDC WD30EFRX-68E 0A82  /dev/sdb 
[1:0:1:0]    disk    ATA      WDC WD30EFRX-68E 0A82  /dev/sdc 
[1:0:2:0]    disk    ATA      WDC WD30EFRX-68E 0A82  /dev/sdd 
[1:0:3:0]    disk    ATA      WDC WD30EFRX-68N 0A82  /dev/sde 
[2:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      SanDisk SSD PLUS 7100  /dev/sdf 
[3:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      SanDisk SDSSDA24 30RL  /dev/sdg 
[4:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      KINGSTON SA400S3 66.5  /dev/sdh 
[5:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  hp       DVD A  DH16ABSH  YHDD  /dev/sr0 

 

I'm fairly new to this, can anyone point me in the right direction please? I don't need to pass through to a VM, simply copy data from the optical drive to a share.

Many thanks. W

You'll have to mount/unmount it manually from the command line into a subfolder of /mnt/addons, there's no built-in handling for optical drives.
