volcancel - cancel user's request for removable media that is not currently in drive SYNOPSIS

Example 1: A sample of the volcancel command. To cancel a request to access an unnamed CD-ROM, use example% /usr/lib/vold/volcancel vol/rdsk/unnamed_cdrom To check if volume management is running, use: example% /usr/lib/vold/volcancel || echo volmgmt not running ATTRIBUTES
