Thought I'd give a whirl with Oracle 12g, so started with creating an OL 6 machine under VirtualBox. Running into a string of issues where OL 6 isn't behaving like OL 5. Here's my current issue.
Trying to install the VBox Guest Additions. On the VBox console window, selected "Devices" and "Install Guest Additions". That should cause a cd image to be mounted in the virtual cd drive, and a check of the VBox manager Virtual Media Manager shows VBoxGuestAdditions.iso is attached to my OL6 server.
I have created the directory to which I will mount the cd-rom
[
root@vblnxsrv02 /]# pwd
/
[root@vblnxsrv02 /]# ls -l /media/cdrom
total 0
[root@vblnxsrv02 /]#
But when I try to mount it, using the same simple 'mount' command I use with OL 5:
[root@vblnxsrv02 /]# mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@vblnxsrv02 /]#
Poking around with google there were several places that suggested specifying the iso9660 file system. So ...
[root@vblnxsrv02 /]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
[root@vblnxsrv02 /]#
Ideas?
