Is automountd running? If it is, I'd be interested to see if the media will stay in the drive after disabling automountd.

Is there a way to install Solaris 10 x86 with an external DVD drive that connects through the USB port? I would think I would run GRUB off of a floppy disk and somehow use that to make it look to the USB port to boot from but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me out? (1 Reply)

automountd
automountd(1M) automountd(1M)
NAME
automountd - autofs mount/unmount daemon
SYNOPSIS
automountd [-Tvn] [-D name=value]
automountd is an RPC server that answers file system mount and unmount requests from the autofs file system. It uses local files or name
service maps to locate file systems to be mounted. These maps are described with the automount(1M) command.
If automount finds any non-trivial entries in either the local or distributed automount maps and if the daemon is not running already, the
automountd daemon is automatically invoked by automount(1M). automountd enables the svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr service (lockd(1M)), and the
svc:/network/nfs/status service (statd(1M)), if NFS mounts need to be done.
At startup, the automountd daemon is invoked as is invoked as the system/filesystem/autofs:default service. See .
The following options are supported:
-D name=value Assign value to the indicated automount map substitution variable. These assignments cannot be used to substitute variables
in the master map auto_master.
-n Turn off browsing for all autofs mount points. This option overrides the -browse autofs map option on the local host.
-T Trace. Expand each RPC call and display it on the standard output.
-v Verbose. Log status messages to the console.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of automountd when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
/etc/auto_master Master map for automounter.
/etc/default/autofs Supplies default values for parameters for automount and automountd. See autofs(4).
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |

|Availability |SUNWcsu |

svcs(1), automount(1M), svcadm(1M), autofs(4), attributes(5), largefile(5), smf(5)
The automountd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/system/filesystem/autofs
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
vice's status can be queried using svcs(1). If it is disabled, it is enabled by automount(1M) unless the application/auto_enable property
is set to false.
