fstab: mounting a drive in 2 places at the same time

Why a simple symlink is not good?

NO

I'm using ROX as my gui file manager and It has some visual issues when the mounted directory is accessed through a symlink. So is there any way to do it not using a symlink ??

You would mount manually like this:
# mount -t auto /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
# mount -o bind /mnt/cdrom /home/gabriel/CD

The corresponding fstab entries should look like this:

Nope... doesn't work :/ The problem is that I don't want to mount it manually... ROX mounts the drive when I enter the @CD or @USB directory. And I want it to work properly.

Maybe there's another way ?? If not than I guess my problem is unsolved :/

Then I guess you would have to change the way ROX mounts your drives. Maybe there's a way to configure the mount commands it uses. If not, you would have to change it in the program's source code.
