I know this is a Linux Users Group, but I have a question based in Solari=
s 8.  I understand from my Linux class at DeVry that most Unix flavors as=
 similar to a point.  If this is true, than the way a device is mounted t=
o the OS may be similar to.

I am trying to mount a SCSI removable device after bootup.  I rcv an erro=
r stating 'drive is already mounted'.  When I bootup the system w/o power=
 applied to my device and apply power once the boot process is finished. =
 I can mount it to the system.  I do not want to apply power each time I =
boot, so how can I verify what device is mounted after the boot process i=
s completed?  What is/are the command(s) to perform this action or test t=
he hardware mounted?  Would this be similar in Solaris?

I understand how to do this in Windows(which I know is a real bad word in=
 here), but I don't understand how Linux/Unix talks to the hardware durin=
g the boot process.  I do understand how to mount a device from the CLI. =
 Please help?


Regards,

Darren
