name (s#), but not both.
Using PC Card Memory Devices
Since the Solaris Volume Management software recognizes PC Card memory devices,
no special vold configuration is required.
♦ If you don’t want to use vold to manage your PC Card memory devices,
comment out the "use pcmem" line in the /etc/vold.conf file.
To comment out a line, insert a # character at the beginning of the line.
PC Card memory devices don’t need to have file systems on them, though typically,
before using a new PC Card memory card, you will want to create a file system on it.
DOS PCFS is the best format to use. (You can use virtually any file system format on
a PC Card memory card, but most other file system formats are platform-dependent,
making them unsuitable for moving data between different types of machines. See
“Using PCMCIA Cards” in Appendix G of Solaris User’s Guide.)
Note - If you want to redirect the output of a tar command (or dd or cpio)toaPC
Card memory device, first create a file system on the card, using the fdformat
command without arguments. The card must be reformatted before it can be written
on again.
Hot-Plugging
If a memory card is removed while in use, the device driver returns errors until the
memory card is inserted into the appropriate socket. Close and reopen the device
with the card reinserted, and the memory card will work.
If you remove the card while in use as a file system, unmount the file system
using the umount command. Then reinsert the card and remount the file system
using the mount command.
If you remove the card and interrupt a tar or cpio process, stop the process,
reinsert the card, and restart the process.
