MOUNTING A CDROM

[khilari]

hi people, well i was mounting a cdrom. i did
cd /SD_cdrom
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM

IT SAYS DEVICE BUSY, AM I DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.

THANKS

[Torsten.]

The right way:

0. cd /

1. mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM

2. cd /SD_CDROM

Hi khilari,

If you position yourself in the target directory, you won't be able to mount a filesystem.

You are Getting Device Busy message because you are giving the command from the directory "/SD_cdrom" , you need to come out of this directory to give the above command.

cd /
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM

Hi

Beware that the directory on which you are
trying to mount is not hijacked by processes

To find them you do
fuser -cu /SD_CDROM

(You could indeed find a shell process as
was previous mentioned)

Then

-Kill all process on the dir
-Login fresh
-mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM

good luck

Hi khilari,

$pwd --> /SD_cdrom

$ cd /
$ mount -r dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM

rgs,

ran

Dear killari ,
you please check your present working directory using pwd if it is /SD_CDROM give cd / and check any files or directories are present in the /SD_CDROM .if it is there please check it any of this is used by any program or by any processes normally it will not be there

and after that you can mount the CDROM by using the following command
#mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM
and check it wether it is getting mounted or not

To mount you should not be in the directory you want mounted.

# cd /
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM

Cheers,

Shalom,

its busy because your connection is in there and the mount command can't mount the filesystem in that folder under these circumstances.

Always cd to the directory you are mounting the filesystem in after you mount it.
