Hey all! I've got an Ultra 10 with a rather confused vold, AFAICT. It
autmounts the CD, but it often won't eject it without a reboot. Any
ideas? This isn't an area I have much knowledge of.

What error is it giving? Is it diving a device busy error? If it is
make sure no users are in /cdrom. (or what ever point the cdrom is
mounted to.

Also make sure if you cd to /cdrom and then 'su' that both instances
are not in /cdrom.

No error, just no response. No other users. Logged in as root.

Occasionally it complains that there's no device mounted on *diskette0,
which is clearly not where it should be looking.

Try "eject cdrom" rather than just "eject". That will keep it from
getting confused and trying to eject the floppy.

Hope this helps,
Don

Nope. First thing I tried.

There is a utility called lsof (list open files). You can do `lsof |
grep -i cdrom` to see what process/file(s) is keeping the device busy/open.
If you don't have that utility, you can get it from http://sunfreeware.com/.
Hope that helps.
