Full Discussion: CDROM does not mount
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers CDROM does not mount Post 302533277 by hubatuwang on Thursday 23rd of June 2011 07:11:55 AM

I used mount command with -F and -o options before but it hadn't worked either.
For the people who may have the same problem;

I couldn't see what was inside the cd-rom even if the cd-rom was full. I tried to mount and unmount the cdrom:

Code:
root@hubatusvr # mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s2 /cdrom 
mount: /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s2 is already mounted or /cdrom is busy 
root@hubatusvr #  umount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s2 
umount: warning: /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s2 not in mnttab 
umount: /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s2 not mounted

After that with the help of Peasant I did this:

Code:
root@hubatusvr # fuser /cdrom
/cdrom:
root@hubatusvr #  ls -al /dev/sr* |awk '{print "/" $11}' 
/dsk/c0t3d0s2 
root@hubatusvr # mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s2 /cdrom

Regards,

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

       512 MB

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.
