        My old home office in Texas had a big floor standing A/C unit to cool the rack. The piping was all painted up in NTG Orange.

            We aren't a host, but our prod stuff is 151 Front St. Our backup is Mississauga. Our cloud facilities are Chicago, Dallas and Nova. The racks at the "residential datacenter" are the sixth tier down of equipment.

              Fun fact: The orange spray paint can that was used to paint that piping was the same can that was utilized in the near-famous incident involving @psx_defector , Maker's Mark, and the orange belly... the night before SpiceWorld 2012. 🙂

                                        Oh, so if it is "in the drive", you are just missing the mount point:

                                        mkdir -p /media/cdrom

                                        You are trying to mount to a directory that you haven't created yet.
