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).

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.

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:

/dev/volctl

Volume Management control port

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

cpio(1), eject(1), tar(1), rmmount(1M), vold(1M), rmmount.conf(4), attributes(5), volfs(7FS)

Volume Management (vold) must be running to use this command.
