UMOUNT.NFS(8)							 UMOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME
       umount.nfs, umount.nfs4 - unmount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS
       umount.nfs dir [-fvnrlh ]

DESCRIPTION
       umount.nfs  and	umount.nfs4  are  a  part of nfs(5) utilities package,
       which provides NFS client functionality.

       umount.nfs4 and umount.nfs are meant to be used by the  umount(8)  com‐
       mand  for  unmounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be
       used as a standalone command with limited functionality.

       dir is the directory on which the file system is mounted.

OPTIONS
       -f     Force unmount the file system in case of unreachable NFS system.

       -v     Be verbose.

       -n     Do not update /etc/mtab.	By default, an	entry  is  created  in
	      /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip
	      deleting an entry.

       -r     In case unmounting fails, try to mount read-only.

       -l     Lazy unmount. Detach the file system from the file system	 hier‐
	      archy now, and cleanup all references to the file system as soon
	      as it is not busy anymore.

       -h     Print help message.

NOTE
       For further information please refer nfs(5) and umount(8) manual pages.

FILES
       /etc/fstab	 file system table

       /etc/mtab	 table of mounted file systems
