Title Using 'vol' in sysinit
Ref. No. QNX.000009736
Category(ies) Utilities, Configuration
Issue How do we invoke 'vol' from within a startup script?

Solution Do not run vol from the sysinit. At the end of the sysinit do:
on -t /dev/con1 setup_script

Continue the startup in that script, including running vol.  There must be a valid entry in /dev/tty ( in setup_script do 'set -i' or 'on -t /dev/con1 /bin/ksh -i setup_script' to make sure that the shell is running in interactive mode).
