NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       The rmmount utility is a removable media mounter that  is  executed  by
15       volume  management  whenever  a removable medium, such as a CD-ROM or a
16       floppy, is inserted. Removable media is managed by an application or  a
17       volume manager. rmmount can also be called by using volrmmount(1).
18
19
20       Upon  insertion of a medium and following invocation of the volcheck(1)
21       command, rmmount determines what type of file system  (if  any)  is  on
22       that  medium. If a file system is present, rmmount mounts the file sys‐
23       tem in one of the locations listed below.

73
74
75       /rmdisk/unnamed_zip           mounted unnamed Zip medium
76
77
78
79       For a Jaz drive:
80
81       /rmdisk/jaz0                  symbolic  link  to  mounted Jaz medium in
82                                     local Jaz drive
83
84
85       /rmdisk/Jaz_name              mounted named Jaz medium
86
87
88       /rmdisk/Jaz_name/partition    mounted named Jaz medium with partitioned
89                                     file system
90
91
92       /rmdisk/unnamed_Jaz           mounted unnamed Jaz medium
93
94
95
96       For a generic "rmdisk" drive:
97
98       /rmdisk/rmdisk0
99
100           symbolic link to mounted removable medium in local removable medium
101           drive
102
103
104       /rmdisk/rmdisk_name
105
106           mounted named removable medium
107
108
109       /rmdisk/rmdisk_name/partition
110
111           mounted named removable medium with partitioned file system
112
113
114       /rmdisk/unnamed_rmdisk
115
116           mounted unnamed removable medium
117
118
119
120       If the media is read-only (for example,  a  CD-ROM  or  a  floppy  with
121       write-protect tab set), the file system is mounted read-only.
122
123
124       If  a file system is not identified, rmmount does not mount a file sys‐
125       tem. See the  for more information on the location of  CD-ROM,  floppy,
126       and other media without file systems.
127
128
129       If  a  file  system type has been determined, it is then checked to see
130       that it is "clean." If  the  file  system  is  "dirty,"  fsck  -p  (see
131       fsck(1M))  is  run  in  an attempt to clean it. If fsck fails, the file
132       system is mounted read-only.
133
134
135       After the mount is complete, "actions" associated with the  media  type
136       are  executed.  These  actions allow for the notification to other pro‐
137       grams that new media are available.
138
139
140       Actions are executed in the order in which they appear in the  configu‐
141       ration  file.  The  action  function  can  return  either 1 or 0. If it
142       returns 0, no further actions will be executed. This allows  the  func‐
143       tion to control which applications are executed.
144
145
146       In  order  to  execute  an action, rmmount performs a dlopen(3C) on the
147       shared object and calls the action function defined within it. The def‐
148       inition    of    the   interface   to   actions   can   be   found   in
149       /usr/include/rmmount.h.
150
151
152       File systems mounted by rmmount are always mounted with the nosuid flag
153       set, thereby disabling setuid programs and access to block or character
154       devices in that file system. Upon ejection,  rmmount  unmounts  mounted
155       file  systems and executes actions associated with the media type. If a
156       file system is "busy" (that is, it contains the current working  direc‐
157       tory of a live process), the ejection will fail.
