Hi Gurus,
I have difficulty in configuring removable hard disk in Solaris 8.
I have connected hard disk to machine but I do not know how to configure it.
Kindly tell me, how should I configure it .. so that I can create a mount point on this and write files to them.
I am connecting this via USB port.
I tried below.
1) I tried killing vold process with -HUP signal.
2) Stopped /etc/init.d/volmgt
3) Now I am unable to start it.
When I execute /etc/init.d/volmgt start
It shows nothing failure, but when I grepped for vold deamon, I am not able to find it.
I tried starting service even after removing that thoshiba disk also. But no difference...
That is ... now I am unable to start volmgt now.
4) I executed "devfsadm" command. But no difference I found.
All the difference I can see is ..... Just in "prtconf -v" command output ...
I can see below message in prtdiag out put,when disk is connected.
