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 (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  volrm-
              mount  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).

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:

User Commands                                       volrmmount(1)



     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.
