The Umount command detaches the mentioned filesystem (s) from the file hierarchy. A filesystem is specified by giving the directory where it has been mounted. Giving the special device on which the filesystem lives may also work, but is obsolete, mainly because it will fail in case this device was mounted on more than one directory.

Historical details The original Umount() function was called as Umount(device) and would return ENOTBLK when called with something other than a block device. In Linux 0.98p4, a call Umount(dir) was added, in order to support anonymous devices.

Shared mounts cause any mount activity on a mount, including Umount() operations, to be forwarded to every shared mount in the peer group and every slave mount of that peer group. This means that Umount() of any peer in a set of shared mounts will cause all of its peers to be unmounted and all of their slaves to be unmounted as well.

The mount command serves to attach the filesystem found on some device to the big file tree. Conversely, the Umount (8) command will detach it again. The filesystem is used to control how data is stored on the device or provided in a virtual way by network or other services.

Feb 08, 2019 . If the command findmnt /mnt produces non-empty output, something is mounted under /mnt. The test checks if the output is empty or not and if the output is not empty, we run Umount /mnt once. If findmnt /mnt produces empty output, nothing is mounted under /mnt anymore and we are done. If you run as root you can remove sudo from the line.

However, those mounts will be locked because the new mount namespace is less privileged. Consequently, an attempt to unmount the mount fails as show in the following step: # unshare --user --map-root-user --mount \ strace -o /tmp/log \ Umount /mnt/dir Umount: /etc/shadow: not

The programs mount and Umount maintain a list of currently mounted filesystems in the file /etc/mtab. If no arguments are given to mount, this list is printed. The mount program does not read the /etc/fstab file if device (or LABEL/UUID) and dir are specified. For example: mount /dev/foo /dir

The uhelper (unprivileged Umount helper) is possible to used when non-root user wants to Umount a mountpoint which is not defined in the /etc/fstab file (e.g devices mounted by HAL). table of mounted file systems Umount (2), mount (8), losetup (8) . A Umount command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.

Unmounting a File System. To detach a mounted file system, use the Umount command followed by either the directory where it has been mounted (mount point) or the device name: Umount DIRECTORY Umount DEVICE_NAME. If the file system is in use the Umount command will fail to detach the file system.
Linux 2.1.116 added the Umount2 () system call, which, like Umount (), unmounts a target, but allows additional flags controlling the behavior of the operation: MNT_FORCE (since Linux 2.1.116) Ask the filesystem to abort pending requests before attempting the unmount.
EINVAL Umount2 () was called with MNT_EXPIRE and either MNT_DETACH or MNT_FORCE . EINVAL (since Linux 2.6.34) Umount2 () was called with an invalid flag value in flags . ENAMETOOLONG A pathname was longer than MAXPATHLEN .
Umount_NOFOLLOW (since Linux 2.6.34) Don't dereference target if it is a symbolic link. This flag allows security problems to be avoided in set-user- ID- root programs that allow unprivileged users to unmount filesystems. On success, zero is returned.
Appropriate privilege (Linux: the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) is required to unmount filesystems.
