UMOUNT.NFS(8)               System Manager's Manual              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.
