Hi - I would like to use my unraid box to RIP CD's and DVD's.  I have a USB DVD drive and a SATA DVD drive currently connected, but I don't know how to mount them.  Is there something I need to install into the kernel for this to work?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Anyone use a CD or DVD drive with unraid?  I want to be able to use this within a Win XP virtual machine.  Thanks!

You should be able to mount those drives, or rather I think you have to mount each disk you put in the drive. As in, put the disk in - mount it - use it - unmount it - remove it.

 

Look at using the unmenu add-on and then you get the ability to mount from a web interface. Depending on the file system you may need to add-on a package to read the particular file system on the disk.

IIRC, CD/DVD support is not in the unRAID kernel.... I had to enable it on my dev system and rebuild the kernel.

OK, thanks bubbaQ.  That is what I thought.  I do have a dev system that I used to build my vmware packages but I am not sure how to enable CD/DVD support into the kernel.  Can you point me in the right direction?  Thanks!

I found some other forum posts and a section in the wiki about custom kernels, I just need to play with it to try to get it working.  Thanks for your help.
