How to Prevent the File Manager From Displaying After Device Allocation

By default, the File Manager displays when a device is mounted. If you are not mounting devices that have file systems, you might want to prevent the File Manager from displaying.

Before You Begin

You must be in the System Administrator role in the global zone.

1. Edit the /etc/rmmount.conf file.

   Use the trusted editor. For details, see How to Edit Administrative Files in Trusted Extensions.

2. Find the following filemgr actions:

   action cdrom action_filemgr.so action floppy action_filemgr.so

3. Comment out the appropriate action.

   The following example shows the action_filemgr.so actions commented out for both the cdrom and diskette devices.

   # action cdrom action_filemgr.so # action floppy action_filemgr.so

   When a CDROM or diskette is allocated, the File Manager does not display.
