/usr/sbin/vold [-n][-t][-v][-f config-file][-l log-file][-d root-dir] [-L debug-level]
The vold volume management daemon creates and maintains a file-system image rooted at root-dir that contains symbolic names for diskettes and CD-ROMs. The default root-dir is set to /vol if you specify no directory with the -d option.
vold reads the /etc/vold.conf configuration file on startup. If the configuration file is modified later, you must tell vold to reread the /etc/vold.conf file with the following command.
# kill -HUP vold-pid
To tell vold to clean up and exit, use the SIGTERM signal.
# kill -TERM vold-pid
where vold-pid is the process ID of vold.
