Simple mount issues

I'm new to Fedora and I have an issue with mounting that should be pretty simple but I can't find an answer in the documentation.

I have an external USB DVD-RW drive and am using FC 7. Fedora of course automatically mounts the drive whenever I plug it in, however, for the life of me I can never find out the mount point. Does anyone know how to find this out?

Thanks for the help.

Hello proctort,

Try inserting a DVD in the drive. When it's finished mounting it, run df in a terminal. That should give you its device name and the mount point.
