Findin' devices mounted during boot up

[Robert A. Klahn]

Darren:

Be a little less vague on what kind of SCSI removable device we are talking about. If this is a CDROM drive, what is probably happening here is that the automounter is mounting your CDROM when you insert the CDROM, not when the system is powered on.

And, yes, the commands here between Linux and Solaris are similar. "mount", without parameters, will list all mounted devices, and "df" will provide details as to where they are mounted, just like in Linux. The parameters of the df command vary a little, but the details are probably not relevant here. "df -k" will provide an output similar to what you are use to df producing under Linux.

Automounter configuration is also very similar between Linux and Solaris, in fact, I would be hard pressed to identify any differences.

http://docs.sun.com provides an online reference to Solaris documentation, if needed.

Bob.

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 is completed?  What is/are the command(s) to perform this action or test the hardware mounted?  Would this be similar in Solaris?
