NAME

       rmmount, rmumount - mounts and unmounts removable media

SYNOPSIS

       rmmount	[-u] [-o options] [nickname | device] [mount_point]

       rmumount  [nickname | mount_point | device]

       rmumount  [-d] [-l]

DESCRIPTION

       The  rmmount  and rmumount utilities mount and unmount removable or hot-pluggable volumes. The optional argument can identify the volume by
       its volume label, mount point or block device path.

       rmmount can also take additional mount options if the user has sufficient privileges to override the default mount options.

       Unmounting removable media does not result in its ejection. Use eject(1) to optionally unmount and eject the media.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported for rmmount and rmumount:

       -d    Display the device path of the default device. This device is used if no arguments are supplied.

       -l    Display the paths and nicknames of mountable devices.

       The following options are supported for rmmount only:

       -o options    Display mount options. This option can only be used by users that have privileges to override the system default options.

       -u	     Unmounts the volume as opposed to mounting it.
