Good Day,

Has anyone had any success with using cdrecord (w/ external plextor CDRW),
and having volmgt running successfully on Solaris 8 (sparc)? Even on
cdrecord's official website, they stress that for cdrecord to work with this
set-up volume management must be disabled. I have a user with a Sunblade
150, who very much wants to use both his internal cdrom, and floppy, while
also utilizing his plextor running cdrecord. I wrote a script that will
successfully send a stop or start to /etc/init.d/volmgt at the users
request. I even have it so that the user's real & efective ID is changed to
root (for testing). It does work effectively, but it seems that volmgt is
very flaky. Working sometimes, and not other times. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thank You, and have a great day.
