NAME
umount, umount2 - unmount file system
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mount.h>int umount(const char *target);int umount2(const char *target, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
umount()
and
umount2()
remove the attachment of the (topmost) file system mounted on
target.
Appropriate privilege (Linux: the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN
capability) is required to unmount file systems.
Linux 2.1.116 added the
umount2()
system call, which, like
umount(),
unmounts a target, but allows additional
flags
controlling the behavior of the operation:
MNT_FORCE (since Linux 2.1.116)
Force unmount even if busy.
This can cause data loss.
(Only for NFS mounts.)
MNT_DETACH (since Linux 2.4.11)
Perform a lazy unmount: make the mount point unavailable for
new accesses, and actually perform the unmount when the mount point
ceases to be busy.
MNT_EXPIRE (since Linux 2.6.8)
Mark the mount point as expired.
If a mount point is not currently in use, then an initial call to
umount2()
with this flag fails with the error
EAGAIN,
but marks the mount point as expired.
The mount point remains expired as long as it isn't accessed
by any process.
A second
umount2()
call specifying
MNT_EXPIRE
unmounts an expired mount point.
This flag cannot be specified with either
MNT_FORCE
or
MNT_DETACH.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned.
On error, -1 is returned, and
errno
is set appropriately.
ERRORS
The error values given below result from filesystem type independent
errors.
Each filesystem type may have its own special errors and its
own special behavior.
See the kernel source code for details.
EAGAIN
A call to
umount2()
specifying
MNT_EXPIRE
successfully marked an unbusy file system as expired.
EBUSY
target
could not be unmounted because it is busy.
EFAULT
target
points outside the user address space.
EINVAL
target
is not a mount point.
Or,
umount2()
was called with
MNT_EXPIRE
and either
MNT_DETACH
or
MNT_FORCE.
ENAMETOOLONG
A pathname was longer than
MAXPATHLEN.
ENOENT
A pathname was empty or had a nonexistent component.
ENOMEM
The kernel could not allocate a free page to copy filenames or data into.
EPERM
The caller does not have the required privileges.
CONFORMING TO
These functions are Linux-specific and should not be used in
programs intended to be portable.
NOTES
The original
umount()
function was called as umount(device) and would return
ENOTBLK
when called with something other than a block device.
In Linux 0.98p4 a call umount(dir) was added, in order to
support anonymous devices.
In Linux 2.3.99-pre7 the call umount(device) was removed,
leaving only umount(dir) (since now devices can be mounted
in more than one place, so specifying the device does not suffice).
This page is part of release 3.14 of the Linux
man-pages
project.
