Date: Sun 02-Feb-1989 23:07:12 From: Unknown Subject: Two questions There have been a few postings on the net about making the optical disks a user mountable data drive. I need to do the same sort of thing but I've been stymmied. I have had to do a few things that I didn't like security wise, but that's not my major concern. The following is what I've done... add a group 'optical' to let specific people use the disk chgrp optical /dev/*od* /etc/mnt /etc/disk chmod 664 /dev/*od* (This will let optical users write data to the OD. chmod 4750 /etc/mnt /etc/disk This let's me access the optical with the disk command. I can now eject and init ANY drive on our cube (hard drive included) The problem is that when I try to mount the optical to anywhere (even as root) I always get (after the disk spinup) device busy. Has anyone gotten beyond this point? I need to 'hot' mount opticals after booting. Also, when we got our cube, we had a problem with voice mail and stealth. Whenever you played back voice mail or contacted the tower in stealth, the voice was playing back at a low sample rate (it sounded about 2-3 octaves lower then the original). We fixed this by recompiling the soundtest app in the Example directory and then sfrecording a sound and playing it back with soundtest. for some reason this seemed to clear some bit in the DSP and since then the voice mail plays back at a normal level now. Does anyone know what caused this and if there's a better way to clear the DSP???
