The original question:
------------------------------
Hello , everyone.
Recently when I halt my sun sparcstation20( running solaris2.5.1),
it prompt such a warning :

/usr/sbin/vold[287]: problem unmounting /vol ; Resource temporarily
unvailable

who will indicate what this mean ?
I have no floppy driver or cdrom attached.

Thanks for your advise .

The summary:
---------------------
I have received four mail so far . thanks to Rene OCCELLI ,
Chris Marble , Satish and bismark . I am now sure that's a vold
bug . So I removed the vold_startup_script from the rc2.d directory.

Follows are some answers.

You can move /etc/init.d/voldmgt out to preventing it from starting.

It's a known problem. Has to do with the order partitions are
unmounted on shutdown. Nothing to worry about. My machine does it too.

  My opinions are my own and probably don't represent anything anyway.

---------------------- Hi, The vold manager is a background program ( automatically started at boot) which automatically mount cdrom et give the possibility to mount floppy (simply via filemgr). In your case ( and in my case on some machines) there is no cdrom nor floopy it's just a message (sure a bug) that says that vold founds no appropriate device .. Ignore it. You can suppress it by removing the script S92volmgt int the /etc/rc2.d directory. In my case , I keep this script, because the day I attach a cdrom to the machine, it will be automatically mounted.

-------------------- The vold dameon is not responding to the shutdown procedure. It is normal in most Solaris installations.
