need a vold expert

I'm having a problem with vold when automounting CDs. I have two CDROMs with the same volume label. When the first CD is inserted into my Sun box, vold automounts it under the file system /cdrom/label. When the second CD is inserted, it gets automounted under the file system /cdrom/label#1.

If I kill vold and restart it, I can put either CD in the box and it will mount under /cdrom/label. Then the other CD will mount under /cdrom/label#1 again. So vold is keeping track of these in memory.

By running vold in debug mode, I see that it is computing an md4 signature, and it seems that because they are different it won't mount them with the same label.

Any ideas how I can get both CDs to be mounted under the same file system without having to restart vold each time? I've checked the man page for vold and vold.conf, but I don't see anything.

try looking at /cdrom/cdrom0

it should be a link to the current cdrom.

It does, however, the java program I am using is determining the actual directory (via something like a getcwd call), and is not working as a result of the "#". I need the CD to mount in the same file system to get everything to work properly.
