NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     eject - eject a removable media device

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     eject [ [ controller_id ] scsi_id [ lun ] | device	 | dir ]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     eject ejects a removable mediad device.  If the device has	mounted
     filesystems, eject	will first try to unmount them.

     Without any options, eject	will act upon the first	device it finds	in the
     hardware inventory	table.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

     device
	  Specify the device to	eject.	The device may be specified using any
	  of the names described in the	mediad(1m) man page.  Note that	some
	  devices do not support software eject.

     dir  If mediad is running,	the mount point	of the filesystem on the disk
	  to be	ejected	can be specified.

     [controller_id] scsi_id
	  If mediad is running,	the controller id and the scsi id of the
	  device to be ejected can be specified.  If the controller id is left
	  out, it will default to 0.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

     /dev/rdsk/fd*  floppy devices
     /dev/scsi/*    generic SCSI devices (for CD-ROM drives)
     /dev/tape	    shorthand for the tape device on the system
     /dev/rmt/*	    real name for all tape devices on the system
     /etc/fsd.tab   table of devices monitored by mediad

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

     An	error will occur if the	specified device does not have a disk in it,
     or	if the file system on the disk couldn't	be unmounted.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

     eject /dev/scsi/sc0d6l0	   eject CD-ROM	disk (controller 0 SCSI	id 6)
     eject /dev/rdsk/fds0d2.3.5	   eject floppy	disk (controller 0 SCSI	id 2)
