Umount: # Umount Wren:/usr/local - Bin #Umount /usr/local/bin

The umount command is used to remove a mounted directory from the local filesystem. Either the remote filesystem name or local mount point directory can be specified on the umount command line to dismount. The -a option dismounts all filesystems listed in the /etc/mtab file, while -t combined with -a dismounts all filesystems of a specified type. The -f option forces an NFS dismount even if the server is unresponsive.

umount

The opposite of the mount command is the umount command, which is used to remove a
mounted directory from the local filesystem. A filesystem can be dismounted using either the
remote filesystem name or the local mount point directory on the umount command line, so
to dismount the
/usr/local/bin directory, enter either the remote name
# umount wren:/usr/local.bin
or the local name
#umount /usr/local/bin
There are a few options associated with the umount command that are of particular interest.
The a and t options are used in the same way that they are used with the mount
command. The a option dismounts every filesystem listed in the /etc/mtab file. In other
words, it dismounts all
currently mounted filesystems. The t option, when combined with the a option, dismounts
all filesystems of the specified type. The f option has particular relevance to NFS because it
forces the dismount, even if the remote NFS server is unresponsive.
