NAME
     cdfsd - CDROM file system server

SYNTAX
     cdfsd

ARGUMENTS
     There are no arguments.

DESCRIPTION
     cdfsd is a daemon that provides access to a CDROM file system either in
     High Sierra Group format or ISO 9660 format. It uses Network Computing
     Services to allow remote as well as local access to the CDROM.  After
     cdfsd is invoked, it will wait for a mount request.  When it receives a
     mount request it opens the block special file associated with CDROM
     reader and creates a mount point within the Domain file system. Once
     mounted the CDROM file system appears below the mount point.  The cdfsd
     supports multiple mounted CDROM file systems.

     Note: Prior to SR11 the directory referenced by the mount point must not
     previously exist.  At SR11 these semantics will change so that the mount
     point must already exist before mounting the file system.

DIAGNOSTICS
     cdfsd will print out an error message and exit if it is not run with root
     permissions or if the llbd is not running.
