When I disable the volmanager to bypass this strange behavior and want to mount manually, it says that the device I try to mount is not a block device. However, the device I use is the device found by 'rmformat' ? The man page for mount explains options which are not available in the actual command and vice versa. This behavior is not what I expected from 'the most advanced OS on the planet'. I mean, even DOS understands CDRW/DVDRW, come on!

If you want to burn a CD on Solaris, just try cdrw with options and omit
"format the disc".
e.g to burn a iso image
#cdrw -i *.iso

It works perfect.
