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).

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

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.

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
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.

69 Example 1 Using SMF Properties to Set Options

71
72 The following svccfg(1M) command and subcommands use SMF properties to
73 set the -c and -n options.
