OLC had a user contact us saying that he could no longer access CD-ROMs 
via /cdrom on Suns.  We confirmed the behavior also exists on Solaris 
machines in N42.  Preliminary research suggests that vold is not running, 
and that restarting vold results in the correct behavior.  Check the 
service status results in the following output:

kuzco.mit.edu# svcs -x volfs
svc:/system/filesystem/volfs:default (Volume Management filesystem)
  State: disabled since Fri Mar 21 10:52:29 2008
Reason: Disabled by an administrator.
    See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05
    See: volfs(7FS)
Impact: This service is not running.

The timestamp is different on different machines, but appears to 
correspond to the last reboot of the machine.

All the machines in question are running 9.4.44
