Backward Compatibility

The following features provide backward compatibility with previous Solaris removable media features:

• Removable media mount points have moved to the /media directory, which is used to mount removable media, such as CD-ROMs and USB devices. Symbolic links to /media from previous media mounts points, such as /cdrom and /rmdisk, are provided for compatibility purposes.

• The rmformat command is still available. The output of this command is identical to what it looks in previous Solaris releases with vold disabled.

  For example:

  # rmformat Looking for devices... 1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0s2 Physical Node: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@6,0 Connected Device: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1401 1009 Device Type: DVD Reader Bus: SCSI Size: 2.9 GB Label: <None> Access permissions: <Unknown>

• The eject command is available but has been enhanced. For more information, see Ejecting Removable Media.
