I can't mount flash drives and dvd drives on my x86 solaris 10.
The error message appears after login; sd_media_watch_cb: dev gone.
When I issue #mount /usb, it first shows disk is mounted or busy, and
'/dev/dsk/c3t0d0p1 - there is no such device or address' when I repeat
it. But the device is in /dev/dsk dir.
It was working but has suddenly stopped working. I can't even mount
dvd drive as it shows the similar message and fails.
Please tell me what has gone wrong.
Thank you
The common denominator between USB device and CD/DVD device mounting is the volfs service.
Try:
svcadm disable volfs
svcadm enable volfs
Thank you. I've tried but problem remains the same
autofs?
I think it is rather volfs.
svcadm restart volfs

@MadeInGermany.....Yes, of course. What was I thinking?? Thanks for correcting my stupid mistake.
I apologies for being late.
I tried all the commands you asked me but problem persists. One message I get no matter what command related vol;
"pattern volfs does not match any instances"
It can't mount volfs.
When I use vold, it says mount /vol fails.
I can't see permission of /vol as it suspends cursor (seems for ever) until I ctrl c to get
the cursor back.
Why I can't see/search/execute /vol directory?
