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

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
