NAME
      volrmmount - call rmmount to mount or unmount media
 


SYNOPSIS
      volrmmount [ -i | -e ]  [ name | nickname ]
 
      volrmmount [ -d ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      volrmmount 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 won't 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
      -i    Simulate an insertion of the specified media  by  cal-
            ling  rmmount.
 
      -e    Simulate an ejection of the specified media by calling
            rmmount.
 
      -d    Display the name of the default device for  volrmmount
            to  handle.   This device is used if no  name or nick-
            name is supplied.
 


OPERANDS
      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: A sample case of 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
 
      Note that if you are using a named floppy you  can  use  its
      name in place of  floppy0.
