cifsumount -a

Description

The cifsumount command is used to unmount any shares mounted with

cifsmount. Shares can only be unmounted by the user that mounted the

share at the given mountpoint or the superuser. The second variant (with

the -a option) unmounts all mounts that are currently served.

In HP CIFS Sever A.02.01, unmounting the last mount to a server does

not logout any of the users logged in at the server. The HP CIFS Client

A.01.x or earlier versions log out the users when the last share is

unmounted. The new behavior in version A.02.01 allows users to be

automatically reconnected if the system administrator needs to unmount

and remount a share.

Options

-a Unmounts all CIFS ﬁlesystems.

-f Forces unmount: Avoids requests to the server (useful

if the server is down).
