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(1M)  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 (see
     rmmount.conf(4)).

     For example, if you use the  default  /etc/rmmount.conf  and
     insert  a music CD, it will 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  cal-
           ling rmmount.

     -e    Simulates an ejection of the specified media  by  cal-
           ling 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. See volfs(7FS).

     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.

FILES

     /dev/volctl
