Dear Red Hat,

Would one of our intrepid heroes please fix this for me?

I am coming from the community: Scientific Linux 7.2 x 64

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760885

is back in 7.3.   I am unable to mount (grayed out) my hosts DVD drive.

Many thanks,

Todd, DVD/CDROM passthrough is disabled by design in RHEL7. That's actually what Bug 760885 was tracking and it was correctly fixed (you can see the justification for it there).

So unless I'm missing something in your report, things are working as expected and I'm closing this BZ. Feel free to reopen if you have something else to add.
