Upon CD/DVD media load Solaris volume manager arranges kind of "bypass" device entry under /vol and then invokes rmmount. Rmmount analyzes the media to identify the file system layout and mounts the "bypass" device entry arranged in previous step under /cdrom/label if it a file system was in fact found. And that is *all*. Solaris volume manager does not care if rmmount succeeded or not and in fact remains totally unaware of the mount point. It does not monitor the device [nor mount point] till the media eject is requested [regardless if the media was empty or not]. Upon eject the "bypass" device entry is destroyed (ioctl is intercepted and routed to volume manager). For the reference /vol itself is an NFS mount point, and volume manager acts as user-land NFS server for it. /vol is basically just a way to expose "bypass" device entries to the user-land and no automounting-like activities are going on there. > Unfortunately this does not help when you like to write multi session > CDs. As volume manager is not aware of the mount point, you can simply 'umount /cdrom/label' and proceed with multi-session recording. Works for DVD multi-sessioning... Well, there is one thing which can ruin recording, 'volrmmount -i cdrom' issued during recording. A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
