Removable Media in Solaris
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the dawn of time (or at least Jan 1, 1970) it has been difficult for the common user to take advantage of removable media under UNIX. The traditional UNIX approach to dealing with removable media has been to let programs name the device containing the media, and to leave it to the operator (or user) to ensure that the right media is in the device named. We have implemented the opposite approach: having the program specify the media and letting the OS take care of the device. Media is referenced by a name in the file system and recognized when it is inserted into a device. Administrators may specify actions to be taken when media is named, recognized, and removed.

Using Long-Term Removal Data to Manage a Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Population
Background: Removal programs are effective strategies for short-term management of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster spp.) populations, especially on a small scale. However, management programs are costly, and, in order to be effective, they must be based on local Acanthaster spp. population dynamics. We have developed simple models to predict the annual number of removable A. cf. solaris a...
متن کاملModeling the Spread of Computer Viruses under the Effects of Infected External Computers and Removable Storage Media
This paper is intended to investigate the effects of infected external computers and removable storage media on the spread of computer viruses. To this end, a new dynamical model, which has four compartments, is proposed. The analysis of the model shows that the unique equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. This result is well suited for numerical implementation. An illustration of the ...

A collaboration between the developer of a Removable Hard Disk Drive (RHDD) storage technology product and academics presents an accelerated life test of non-spinning powered down hard disks. The results are used to predict the reliability of removable disk cartridges stored in shirtsleeve environments as archival media. The contributions of this paper include an initial study of the reliabilit...
متن کاملUnleashing the Power of JumpStart: A New Technique for Disaster Recovery, Cloning, or Snapshotting a Solaris System
Due to the demand of 24x7 coverage by present day data centers, the need for a proven disaster recovery plan is a must. To assist in providing disaster recovery for systems running Sun Microsystems’ Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x) operating system, a tool was developed which captures the image of the system to one or more volumes of optical media with the first volume being bootable. The optical media ...
