your volmgt is NOT running. try starting it and see if it auto mounts , verify using df -k

#mount -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0:c /rmdisk

This command have an error....

it should always /dev/dsk (represents block device) in mount command should not be /dev/rdsk (represents raw devices)

Thanks for your response, i made the amendment and i had the result as below:

Code:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /rmdisk
mount: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c is already mounted or /rmdisk is busy

but I still cannot see my files in /rmdisk
pls any thought

What say "df -k", "mount | grep c2t0d0p0" and "fuser /rmdisk" ?
