I've searched quite a bit and haven't seen anyone with this issue so I thought I'd start a new topic. I have a DVD that contains files (no videos) that I'd like to be able to move off the DVD to a share I have on Unraid. I've been able to figure out how to pass through the DVD drive to MakeMKV but when I do that it can't open the disk since it's not a movie disk. I couldn't figure out a good way to pass the device through to a file manager like Krusader.

 

Is there anyway using Unraid to move non-movie files off of a DVD to a share? Thanks!

Can you mount it with Unassigned Devices?  I'm asking because I don't have a dvd drive in my Unraid server to verify.

 

If so then you would be able to access it from Krusader at that point.

My Dell T30's OEM DVD drive does not show in Unassigned Devices, whether it is empty or contains a disk known to have files.  It is read just fine by Ripper docker container, but Ripper log gives no clue about what device its container thinks it is using.  Surprised I find no help on this topic.

I got this working on my Dell T30 as follows (though it does not persist between reboots):

root@myunraid:/mnt/addons# mkdir cd-dvd

root@myunraid:/mnt/addons# mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/addons/cd-dvd/

mount: /mnt/addons/cd-dvd: no medium found on /dev/sr0.

       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

... so disable ripper (so it doesn't fail and eject it), and mount the disk

root@myunraid:/mnt/addons# mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/addons/cd-dvd/

mount: /mnt/addons/cd-dvd: WARNING: source write-protected, mounted read-only.

root@myunraid:/mnt/addons/cd-dvd# ls -la

Unraid runs from RAM which is why those changes do not persist unless you take special action.  If you want those to persist across reboots then the easiest way is to do them by either adding them to the config/go file on the flash drive or adding them as a script to run on first array start from the User Scripts plugin.
