FSD.AUTO(4)							   FSD.AUTO(4)


NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     fsd.auto -	table of device	special	files for daemons to monitor

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     /etc/fsd.auto contains a table of device special files which may spawn
     various daemons during system startup. When mediad	starts,	it looks in
     /etc/fsd.auto to find out which removable media devices on	the system to
     monitor, what directory to	mount each device on, and what options to use
     for each device.


     The file contains a line of information for each device special file,
     structurally identical to the contents of /etc/fstab, described in
     fstab(4).	There are a number of lines of the form:

	  filesystem  directory	 type  options	frequency  pass

     The mon=,inschk=,rmvchk= options are specific to mediad.  If mon=on, or
     if	the option is not present, mediad will monitor the device.  If
     mon=off, mediad will not monitor the device.  Options must	be separated
     by	a comma	only.  There should be no spaces betwwen the options.  The
     type option specifies which daemon	should monitor the device.  If type is
     mediad, msdos, or cdrom, mediad will monitor the device when it reads the
     file on system startup time.  See mediad(1M) for an explanation of	all
     the options.

     The frequency and pass fields must	be present, but	are ignored by mediad.

     The file is not present by	default.  It is	created	and manipulated	by
     mediad if mediad is invoked with the -p or	-r options.  It	can also be
     created or	manipulated by the system administrator	using a	text editor.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

     The /etc/fsd.auto file below causes mediad	to do the following on system
     startup:  check the floppy	at /dev/rdsk/fds0d3.3.5hi for floppy
     insertions	once every 2 seconds and hardware floppy ejects	once every 60
     seconds;  check the CDROM at /dev/scsi/sc0d4l0 at the default intervals;
     and do not	check the tape device at /dev/tape.

	  /dev/rdsk/fds0d3.3.5hi /floppy mediad	rw,inschk=2,rmvchk=60 0	0
	  /dev/scsi/sc0d4l0 /CDROM mediad ro 0 0
	  /dev/tape /tape mediad mon=off 0 0
