Defines for the cdromd daemon the managed devices and supported file system types.
The /etc/cdromd.conf is the configuration file for the cdromd daemon. This file enables you to specify the devices to manage and the file system types to handle.
If you change the /etc/cdromd.conf file, run refresh -s cdromd or kill -1 CdromdPID command to inform the daemon of the changes to its configuration file.
The cdromd daemon reads its configuration file only when it starts, when the cdromd daemon receives a SIGHUP signal, or when the SRC refresh -s cdromd command is entered.
An information line in the cdromd configuration file defines either a device to manage or a file system type to handle. Lines starting with the pound sign (#) are comment lines. Fields in information lines must be separated by spaces or tabs. A device information line starts with <device> keyword and is of the form:
device device_name mount_point
device_name | Contains a valid device name,
as printed by the lsdev command, such as:
lsdev -Cc cdrom -F name |
mount_point | Contains the path of the directory for the mount operation. It must begin with a / |
If there is no line in the configuration file beginning with the device keyword, all the CD-ROM and DVD devices available on the system will be managed by cdromd, and a media inserted in the cd<x> drive will be automatically mounted on /cdrom/cd<x> directory.
A file system type information line starts with the fstype keyword and is of the form:
fstype VfsName fs_options
VfsName | Contains the VFS type used with the -V flag of the mount command.Only cdrfs and udfs types can be used. |
fs_options | Contains the comma separated list of options used with the -o flag of the mount command (see mount command man page). |
If there is no line beginning with the fstype keyword in the configuration file, the mount command will be called with one of the following options:
-V cdrfs -o ro
or
-V udfs -o ro
If you want the UDFS file system to be mounted in read/write mode by default, add the following line to the cdromd.conf file:
fstype udfs rw
The following example of cdromd.conf file is for a cdromd daemon that:
device cd0 /mnt device cd1 /install fstype cdrfs ro fstype udfs ro
The cdmount, cdutil, cdeject, cdumount, cdcheck, mount commands.
The cdromd daemon.
