10.4 Dismounting NCP Volumes

Dismounting an NCP volume removes accessibility for Novell clients to the mount point represented by the volume name.

10.4.1 Dismounting an NCP Volume with NCPCON

  1. Open a terminal console on the Linux server that you want to manage, then log in as the root user.

  2. Use one of the following methods to dismount an NCP volume:

    • At the terminal console prompt, enter ncpcon to open the NCPCON utility, then enter

      dismount ncp_volume_name

    • At a terminal console prompt, enter

      ncpcon dismount ncp_volume_name

      For example, if volume vol1 is mounted, dismount it by entering

      ncpcon dismount vol1

    Replace ncp_volume_name with the name of the NCP volume you want to dismount. Volume names are not case sensitive.

10.4.2 Dismounting an NCP Volume with Novell Remote Manager

  1. In Novell Remote Manager, click Manage NCP Services > Manage Shares, then click the Unmount button next to the NCP volume you want to dismount.
