I was wondering this because there is no easy way to locate this in case of ESX (unlike say RHEL).
mount -t
does not show anything
dmesg shows:

ls -l shows:
cdrom
cdrom-sr0
console
core
disk
dvd
dvd-sr0
and
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
works for cdrom, cdrom-sr0, dvd, dvd-sr0
I was wondering what is going on here and whether there is a graceful way of telling where the device is mapped.
Thanks
can u please try the following command:
cat /etc/mtab
Thats because all of those files are symlinks to the same major/minor device tuple.
Have you tried with /dev/sdc0 ?
Sure that you have ESX and not ESXi?
