umount - Unmounting Filesystems
Unmounting filesystems is a simpler process compared to mounting them. The basic syntax for the umount command is umount [OPTIONS] MOUNT_POINT.
Here, "MOUNT_POINT" refers to the directory where the filesystem is mounted.
Common options for the umount command include:
- -l：Unmounts the filesystem but doesn't remove the entry from the /etc/mtab file.
- -f：Forces the unmounting of the filesystem, even if it's in use.
- -v：Displays the progress of unmounting the filesystem.
For example:
This command unmounts the filesystem mounted at "/mnt/my_drive".
