Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Unmounting a cd in Solaris Post 29944 by Jody on Monday 14th of October 2002 04:15:27 PM

When I tried to umount /cdrom/oracle8i, the error I received was "/cdrom/oracle8i is busy". When I keyed in eject, the message came back and said "/usr/sbin/rmmount(this is where I got rmmount from): umount of /cdrom/oracle8i failed returning 1 /vol/dev/rdsk/c1t6d0/oracle8i Device busy.

The CD did mount automatically, and eject -d did give me a default device(the CD drive). ps -ef | grep vold did show that Volume Management was working. I went ahead and stopped it and restarted it, which let me get the CD out. However, now CD 2 will not mount. I do not have much experience with Solaris, but I do believe that I am going to have to start over on my install now, or perhaps I could get some practice doing some Olympic Solaris Box Roof Tossing to relieve my frustration Smilie.

Oh well, thanks anyway, guys!!
