VOLCHECK FOR LINUX
		DESCRIPTION volcheck is a functional port of the Solaris volcheck program to Linux. The code is written from scratch. By default volcheck will mount any floppy, cdrom or zip-disk found on the system. It's also possible to give the program one of the following arguments, floppy, cdrom or zip, and it will attempt to mount only the indicated media type. Before a mount is conducted we first check to see if the device has already been mounted, if this is the case then nothing is done. If a mount is executed then the media is mounted¹ as specified in /etc/fstab and the file /etc/mtab is updated with an entry for the device mounted.   ¹  When mounting a floppy or a zip disk, the program will first try to mount the device with the fstype given in /etc/fstab, but if an error occurs - indicating a wrong fstype, then the program will try to mount the device with another fstype. It will continue to do so until it succeed mounting the device or run out of fstypes to try. voleject will run in exactly the reverse mode as volcheck. That is; any removable devices found mounted on the system will be unmounted and ejected from it's drive (if supported) and the file /etc/mtab will be updated accordingly.
