__in HANDLE hSession,
__in LPNTMS_GUID lpMediaId,
__in DWORD dwCount,
__in DWORD dwOptions
);

NTMS_DISMOUNT_IMMEDIATE Dismount the drive immediately.
Return Value
This function returns one of the following values.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED | NTMS_USE_ACCESS to the media pool or library that contains the media is denied. Other security errors are also possible, but they would indicate a security subsystem error. |
ERROR_DATABASE_FAILURE | The database is inaccessible or damaged. |
ERROR_DATABASE_FULL | The database is full. |
ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE | One or more resources required to perform the dismount are not currently available (probably disabled). |

ERROR_INVALID_MEDIA | At least one of the specified media is not valid. |
ERROR_INVALID_STATE | An unexpected media or device state occurred during dismount. |

ERROR_TIMEOUT | The time-out event expired while the application attempted to acquire one or more resources. |
Remarks
An application must use the DismountNtmsMedia function to release the drive resource after the application has used the specified medium. Unreleased media cannot be used by other RSM sessions.
The DismountNtmsMedia function returns as soon as the operation is queued with RSM. The application can wait for the side state to become idle.
