Anyone else having problems with the auto mount feature of floppies using
vold? Cdrom's seem to mount ok but when a floppy is put into the floppy
drive it doesn't mount. That is until the user types "eject floppy". Then
it returns an error code that the device is in use and mounts it on /floppy.
Is there a fix for this or do I have something Mis-configured?

System Setup:
SparcStation 20 (1 processor) w/32megs ram.
535 Meg HD, running Solaris 2.3 Hardware-5/94 straight install.
FLoppy, CDROM (both Sun).

Thanks for any information,
Jeff

The floppy drive system has no means for detecting the insertion of
a diskette. You must use the "volcheck" command after inserting
a diskette into the drive.

Hi,
On our SS10/42 we have no problem in getting 'vold'
to mount the floppy on /floppy/floppy0.

The only annoyance is that a 'volcheck' from the console opens
up the volume manager on someones X terminal! We have the latest utmpd
patches, but this may not be related.
