VMS Help DISMOUNT, Qualifiers, /OVERRIDE *Conan The Librarian |
/OVERRIDE=CHECKS
Marks a Files-11 volume for dismounting even if files are open
on the volume. If you specify DISMOUNT/OVERRIDE=CHECKS, the
DISMOUNT command displays messages indicating any open files or
other conditions that prevent dismounting, immediately followed
by a message indicating that the volume has been marked for
dismounting.
This command does not close open files on the device. A device
cannot be properly dismounted until either all processes with
open files have properly closed them, or the processes have been
rundown completely.
A substantial amount of time can pass between the time you enter
the DISMOUNT/OVERRIDE=CHECKS command and the completion of the
dismount operation. Always wait for the dismount to complete
before you remove the volume. (To verify that the dismount
has completed, enter the SHOW DEVICES command.) Note that the
final phase of volume dismounting occurs in the file system, and
all open files on the volume must be closed before the actual
dismount can be done. Note also that the file system cannot
dismount a volume while any known file lists associated with
it contain entries.
By using this command, the device is marked for dismount. This
prevents additional processes from opening files on the device
while existing open files are closed.
