Syntax

DISMOUNT volume name

Using DISMOUNT

• DISMOUNT allows you to maintain or repair a volume and to upgrade disk drivers while the NetWare server is up.
• Use this command to unmount all volumes residing on a removable drive before you remove the drive.
• If you are running out of memory and can't add more RAM, consider dismounting a volume that isn't used often.

  Mounted volumes take up memory allocated for file caching and thus affect server performance.

• You can also use INSTALL to dismount a volume.
