Description Michael Meeks 2012-01-16 08:12:53 UTC 
Floppy disks are pretty obsolete anyway, nevermind having Solaris specific variants of them.

The method: osl_automountVolumeDevice

Should be marked deprecated in it's documentation, it's implementation should be gutted (we have to leave the method for back-compat), and all of the Linux & Solaris code relating to this should be axed. We should also mark 'automount' in the C++ wrapper header as deprecated cf.

sal/osl/unx/file_volume.cxx

Thanks !

Has this been done? OpenGrok cannot find it anywhere.
Comment 2 Michael Meeks 2012-03-07 01:02:57 UTC 
Oh ! yes, sorry - not sure who did that without closing this.

There is still some windows floppy-ness around but ... I suspect that should disappear too but would need compile testing.

Thanks !
