NAME

volcancel − cancel user’s request for removable media that is not currently in drive

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/vold/volcancel [ −n ] [ volume ]

DESCRIPTION

volcancel cancels a user’s request to access a particular floppy or CD-ROM file system.  This command is useful when the removable media containing the file system is not currently in the drive. 

Use the path /vol/rdsk/name_of_volume to specify the volume.  If called without a volume name to cancel, volcancel checks for Volume Management running. 

OPTIONS

−n Display the nickname to the device name translation table. 

EXAMPLES

To cancel a request to access an unnamed CD-ROM, use

example% /usr/lib/vold/volcancel vol/rdsk/unnamed_cdrom
