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 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. 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	       Volume Management control port
