• The /usr/sbin/vold volume management daemon.

• The /etc/vold.conf configuration file that is used by the vold daemon to determine which devices to manage.

• The /etc/rmmount.conf file that is used to configure removable media mounts and actions in /usr/lib/rmmount.

• The volume daemon logs messages in the /var/adm/vold.log file.
