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(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.


     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  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.

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

User Commands                                       volrmmount(1)



     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.
