Hi Forum,
after upgrading a Sun Blade 2000 to Solaris 10 6/06, the DVD drive gives me a headache: It will recognise media in the drive. When going to /cdrom, there's nothing in /cdrom0 and the "removable media manager" in CDE doesn't show any contents.
I think the drive still works though, since I can insert the installation DVD and boot into single user mode from it.
Cheers, Peter.
Hello.
Is "vold" running?
"vold" is the program which is responsible for automatically mounting CDs in the /cdrom directory. You must kill vold before running CD burning software or similar programs or it is killed by CD burning software. Maybe it has not been re-started after starting such a program.

Hi Martin,
sorry for bothering again. I now started vold. It makes the CD/DVD spin a bit, and then the disk is ejected.
volfs is offline:
