    Question udev: Change DVD/CDROM mounting point attributes

    Hi all,
    I would like to change the default attributes for the DVD/CDROM mounting point to add the execution flag.

    I have some DVD/CDROM with shell scripts and when I insert them in my DVD drive, the DVD is mounted as read only, so I can run scripts from the DVD support.

    Is it possible to change/complete the udev rules to change default attribute to 555 ?
    udev is very strange/complicate for me to understand and I need help from expert.

    Today, to do this I first unmount the default mount point create by udev when I insert the DVD:
    Code:
    % sudo umount /media/volume_name
    And create a new mounting point, and mount myself the DVD like this:
    Code:
    % sudo mkdir /mnt/dvdrom
    % sudo mount –o ro,nosuid,nodev,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000,mode=0555 /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvdrom
    Is there a way to do it in a "smarter way" ?

    Regards

    Fabrice

    can't you add a line to your fstab with your specific mount options? I am not sure how to turn off the automount feature of udev however. Maybe this is of some help?
