vold on Solaris 2.5.1

2007-12-25 11:25:00

Apparently I have a little to learn about vold.

I received several good suggestions from:

I tried all of their suggestions, which pertained to verifying

the correctness of my conf files, restarting vold, even performing

a "boot -r". All excellent suggestions, but the answer I was looking

for came from:

who suggested that I verify that the contents of the floppy actually

HAD a filesystem on it. He stated that floppies that had been

formatted and then just 'tar'ed on to would not mount the way a

floppy with a filesystem would. As it turns out this is exactly

what is happening. I didn't know I had been supplied a floppy with

a tar file on it, but I was also unaware of this behavior of vold,

although it makes perfect sense.

Thanks to everyone who offered their suggestions.
