[Libcdio-devel] Re: libcdio-0.83git on Solaris snv134 sees no drives

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

directory /vol is gone forever on Solaris.
vold was replaced by "Tamarack" which is based on
hald. This happened back in 2006.

So the drive detection of libcdio needs a new
method. Obviously
  /dev/[r]dsk/cNtNdN*
are the device names of interest, although the
real device files are in /devices. Those have
names like
  
/devices/address@hidden,0/address@hidden,1/address@hidden/address@hidden,0:c,raw

------------------------------------------------

It has to be tested whether the usual failures
of CD burning were imported together with hald.
I can spot processes
  hald-addon-storage
but cannot get them to telling which drive they
occupy. So i will eventually have to kill them
all.

Whether manual mounting of CD is possible on
Solaris will have to be tested then.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
