VOLRMMOUNT(1) User Commands VOLRMMOUNT(1)
NAME
volrmmount - call rmmount to mount or unmount media
SYNOPSIS
volrmmount [
-i |
-e] [
name |
nickname]
volrmmount [
-d]
DESCRIPTION
The
volrmmount utility calls
rmmount(8) to, in effect, simulate an
insertion (
-i) or an ejection (
-e). Simulating an insertion often means
that
rmmount will mount the media. Conversely, simulating an ejection
often means that
rmmount will unmount the media. However, these actions
can vary depending on the
rmmount configuration and media type.
For example, using default settings, if you insert a music CD, it might
not be mounted. However, you can configure
rmmount so that it calls
workman whenever a music CD is inserted.
This command allows you to override volume management's usual handling of
media (see EXAMPLES below).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-i Simulates an insertion of the specified media by calling
rmmount.
-e Simulates an ejection of the specified media by calling
rmmount.
-d Displays the name of the default device for
volrmmount to handle.
This device is used if no
name or
nickname is supplied.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
name The name that volume management recognizes as the device's
name.
nickname A shortened version of the device's name. Following is the
list of recognized nicknames:

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using the volrmmount command
When volume management finds a floppy that contains a filesystem, it
calls
rmmount to mount it. If you wish to run
tar(1) or
cpio(1) on that
floppy, it must first be unmounted. To unmount the floppy use:
example%
volrmmount -e floppy0 After
volrmmount unmounts the floppy, if you wish to re-mount it (rather
than ejecting it and reinserting it) use:
example%
volrmmount -i floppy0 Notice that if you are using a named floppy, you can use its name in
place of
floppy0.
