Even better than df -h.

$ lsblk
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0 931.5G  0 disk 
└─sda2   8:2    0 279.4G  0 part

I had already pretty much figured out that it was sr0. And I note that
it does not have a mount point. It appears Wes is right. 

The CD in the drive contains .wav files that are the result of a
phonetics project. I need to convert them to mp3 so that I can easily
analyze parts of them in Praat and share them with others interested in
the work. Normally I use lame at the command line to convert .wav files
to mp3, but without a mount point that is impossible.

Using the GUI I can drag them to my hard disk, but the copy errors out
at the last minute on every single one of them.
