eject floppy messages
Anyone know if there is a way to keep the "/dev/floppy/... can now be ejected" messages from coming up on the screen? I'm using Solaris 8 and it pops a message up, which is fine, but it also writes text in the terminal session... that is what I'm trying to avoid. I have tried running in silent mode and redirecting the output to the console. I don't have too many tricks in my book yet, so I'm turning for help

The default action is to volcheck all checkable media managed by volume management.
OPTIONS

quency of checking is specified by -i. There is no default total time.

WARNINGS
Due to a hardware limitation in many floppy drives, the act of checking for media causes mechanical action in the floppy drive. Continu-
ous polling of the floppy drive will cause the drive to wear out. It is recommended that polling the drive only be performed during periods
of high use.
