How to remove non-existent rmdisk?

Hello everybody.
There is a small trouble with Solaris 10 (SPARC) workstation.
The system finds every time non-existent rmdisk and issues Media Format window which offers to format that device.

There are not any connected usb device in usb ports (with the exception of keyboard + mouse).


How to remove non-existent device or disable window appearance?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that there is no removable media? Is there a USB memory card slot on your keyboard?

Login as root

Post the output from:

Code:
rmformat -l

If it lists media then try:

Code:
volrmmount -e <device name from above>

If you get that far, then:

Code:
svcadm restart svc:/system/filesystem/volfs:default

Yes, of course. The Sun Keyboard has usb socket. In this socket was put the Sun mouse.

Yes, that's okay, but is there a memory card slot too?

Anyway, proceed as per my above post.

When it tries to format this non-existant device does it give a device name?

If so, what is it?

The "Format" button is not aktive. I can not input "label name".
I don't undestand where system takes c3t0d0? There was only one disk (c0t0d0) in the box. Smilie
