From: stroller on 14 Apr 2005 14:41 hi, another newbie question here: how do i determine the cdrom device name on my solaris sunblade 100 machine, running solaris 8? i've tried everything i know but i can't mount it... i'm using the following command > mount -F hsfs /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 /cdrom/cdrom0 thx

If you have /dev/sr0, it will be a symlink pointing to it. > i've tried everything i know but i can't mount it... > > i'm using the following command > mount -F hsfs /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 > /cdrom/cdrom0 Of course, it _really_ helps to say what the error was, but there are a number of problems here... You will have to explicitly specify the mount is read-only, with -r or -o ro. The volume manager probably has the cdrom device open anyway, so it can automatically mount any cd which is inserted, which means you don't have to. If you have a /cdrom/cdrom0, that implies the volume manager already mounted the CD. -- Andrew Gabriel

It is also usually helpful to attempt to mount a filesystem rather than a raw disk device.

Most likely you can't mount it as the volume manager is using the device and will have already mounted it if possible. What does the `mount' command by itself list as mounted filesystems? -- Andrew Gabriel |
