UMOUNT(1)                   General Commands Manual                  UMOUNT(1)

NAME
       umount - unmount a mounted file system

SYNOPSIS
       umount name

EXAMPLES
       umount /dev/fd1     # Unmount diskette 1

       umount /mnt         # Unmount the file system mounted on /mnt

DESCRIPTION
       This  command unmounts a file system identified by name.  This name may
       be either a block special file, or the path name of a mount  point.   A
       mounted  file  system  is unmounted after the cache has been flushed to
       disk.  A diskette should never be removed while it is mounted.  If this
       happens,  and  is  discovered  before another diskette is inserted, the
       original one can be replaced without harm.  Attempts to unmount a  file
       system  holding working directories or open files will be rejected with
       a 'device busy' message.
