NAME

6       rmvolmgr - HAL-aware removable volume manager
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/sbin/rmvolmgr [-chns]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  rmvolmgr  command is a volume manager that can automatically mount
14       and unmount removable media  and  hot-pluggable  storage.  The  default
15       mount point is /media.
16
17
18       rmvolmgr  is  one of a number of Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)-aware
19       tools that are shipped with the Solaris operating system. See hald(1M).
20
21
22       Multiple instances of rmvolmgr can  be  run  simultaneously.  A  system
23       instance  of  rmvolmgr runs by default as a service management facility
24       (SMF) service (see smf(5)). Its fault  management  resource  identifier
25       (FMRI) is:
26
27         svc:/system/filesystem/rmvolmgr
28

31
32       You  can run your own instance of rmvolmgr by adding it to the .xinitrc
33       file or a similar session startup script. In such a  case,  the  system
34       rmvolmgr instance will not manage volumes that belong to you, the owner
35       of the startup script. For example, a user logged on to the workstation
36       console  (/dev/console)  who  invokes his own instance of rmvolmgr will
37       own locally connected devices, such as CD-ROM drives and  devices  con‐
38       nected to the local USB or FireWire ports.
39
40
41       In  addition  to  mounting  volumes under /media, rmvolmgr also creates
42       legacy symbolic links under /cdrom, /floppy, and /rmdisk.
43
44
45       rmvolmgr also provides backwards compatibility with CDE removable media
46       interfaces  by  maintaining  notification  files under /tmp/.removable.
47       This functionality can be disabled by using the -c option.
48
49
50       The -c and -n options can also be  specified  as  SMF  properties.  See
51       "Examples."
52

OPTIONS

54       The following options are supported:
55
56       -c    Disable CDE compatibility.
57
58
59       -h    Display help information and exit.
60
61
62       -n    Do not create legacy mountpoint symbolic links.
63
64
65       -s    Invoke in system instance mode.
