Ok, with a little help, I have learned how to keep a CD-ROM (Nova in my case)
permanently mounted. Here is how, incase anyone else asks.
1. Insert cd-rom as usual when logged in.
2. In a terminal window: /usr/etc/mount -p
This will give several lines, including one similar to:
/dev/rsd2h /NOVA_SE cfs ro,removable,filesystem=CDROM 1 2
This info can be used in a subsequent mount command or in /etc/fstab for boot
time mounting.
3. Eject the cd-rom
4. su root in your terminal window
5 Type a command similar to the following using the info received in step 2.
runner:2# /usr/etc/mount -t cfs -o ro,removable,filesystem=CDROM /dev/rsd2h
/NOVA_SE
6 Insert the cd-rom when a window tells you to.
now log out and your cd rom should NOT eject & will be available for all users.
(Including
remote users.)
note to eject the cd-rom after this procedure, no apps must be using the cd-rom.
(This means
you might have to log in as console (from the user/password screen) to do the
following)
1. su root
2. sync
3. /usr/etc/umount /dev/rsd2h (you might be /dev/rsd1h etc.)
4. /usr/etc/disk -e /dev/rsd2h (you might be /dev/rsd1h ...)
NOTE: IF YOU DON'T umount BEFORE you eject, file system corruption could occur.
=============
Thanks for a great CD-ROM.
