umount.nilfs2 - unmount NILFS2 file systems

umount [*-t nilfs2*] [*-dfilnrv*] device | dir […]

umount.nilfs2 [*-nrv*] dir […]

umount.nilfs2 [*-V*]

umount.nilfs2 detaches the NILFS2 file system(s) mentioned from the file hierarchy. This is the umount helper for NILFS2 to shutdown the garbage collector *nilfs_cleanerd*(8) before detaching the file system. Usually it should be invoked through *umount*(8).

See *umount*(8) for the full set of options. Commonly used options with NILFS2 are as follows:

-V

Print version and exit.

-i

Don’t call umount.nilfs2. Valid for *umount*(8).

-n

Unmount without writing in /etc/mtab. This option must be used carefully because mount.nilfs2 and umount.nilfs2 use the table to store the process ID of *nilfs_cleanerd*(8).

-r

In case unmounting fails, try to remount read-only.

-v

Verbose mode.

umount.nilfs2 will free the loop device (if any) associated with the mount, in case it finds the option `loop=…’ in /etc/mtab. The -d option, which also allows *umount*(8) to free the loop device without the `loop=…’ option, is not supported.

umount.nilfs2 is written by Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@gmail.com> for NILFS2, based on the umount program included in the util-linux package.

umount.nilfs2 is part of the nilfs-utils package and is available from https://nilfs.sourceforge.io.
