by I am adminning an Ultra 2 and an Ultra 5, both with Solaris 9 9/02,
with recommended patches up to about December 2002. Vold works fine
on the Ultra 5, but not on the Ultra 2. Specifically, the Ultra 5
will properly automount a hsfs cd whereas the Ultra 2 will not. I
know the Ultra 2 cdrom works because if I kill vold, I can manually
mount the cdrom and it works fine.
When I start vold on the Ultra 2, it seems to make it partway through
mounting the cd and gets stuck somewhere. volrmmount -i indicates "No
default media available", which might be relevant. I can see vold hit
the cd when it starts, suggesting the config files are at least
plausible. volrmmount -d only tells me I have "nothing inserted"
instead of some kind of default device.
Increasing the vold log level increases the quantity of undecipherable
messages in /var/adm/vold, but doesn't reveal anything apparently
relevant.
I'm guessing the problem is either related to the scsi cdrom or
perhaps its some kind of Ultra 2-ism. Any suggestions/hints are
appreciated.
Thanks,
Gregm
