umount
Unlink a filesystem from its mount point, making it no longer accessible. A filesystem cannot be unmounted when it is busy. More information: https://manned.org/umount.8.
- Unmount a filesystem, by passing the path to the source it is mounted from:
umount {{path/to/device_file}}
- Unmount a filesystem, by passing the path to the target where it is mounted:
umount {{path/to/mounted_directory}}
- When an unmount fails, try to remount the filesystem read-only:
umount --read-only {{path/to/mounted_directory}}
- Recursively unmount each specified directory:
umount --recursive {{path/to/mounted_directory}}
- Unmount all mounted filesystems (except the
proc
filesystem):
umount -a
