One Day One GNU?Linux Command
=============================
umount -- UnMount File System
Summary:
The umount command detaches the file system(s) mentioned from the file
hierarchy. A file system cannot be unmounted when it is `busy', For
example, when there are open files on it, or when some process has its
working directory there, or when a swap file on it is in use.
Examples:
# umount /mnt/cdrom -- Unmount the CDROM, using mount point.
# umount -v /dev/cdrom -- Unmount the CDROM, using device file and
show verbose messages.
# umount -f /nfs/home -- Force unmount (Useful in case of an
unreachable NFS system).
# umount -l /media/floppy -- Lazy unmount (I don't care, why the
device is busy).
# umount -n /mnt/cdrom -- Unmount, with-out updating the /etc/mtab,
which contains the list of currently mounted FSs.
Read: man umount
