37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Nm
39.Op Fl fv
40.Ar special ... | node ... | fsid ...
41.Nm
42.Fl a | A
43.Op Fl F Ar fstab
44.Op Fl fv

46.Op Fl t Ar type
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50utility calls the
51.Xr unmount 2
52system call to remove a file system from the file system tree.
53The file system can be specified by its
54.Ar special
55device or remote node (rhost:path), the path to the mount point
56.Ar node
57or by the file system ID
58.Ar fsid
59as reported by
60.Dq mount -v
61when run by root.
62.Pp
63The options are as follows:
64.Bl -tag -width indent
65.It Fl a
66All the file systems described in
67.Xr fstab 5
68are unmounted.
69.It Fl A
70All the currently mounted file systems except
71the root are unmounted.
72.It Fl F Ar fstab
73Specify the
74.Pa fstab
75file to use.
76.It Fl f
77The file system is forcibly unmounted.
78Active special devices continue to work,
79but all other files return errors if further accesses are attempted.
80The root file system cannot be forcibly unmounted.
81For NFS, a forced dismount can take up to 1 minute or more to
82complete against an unresponsive server and may throw away
83data not yet written to the server for this case.
84Also, doing a forced dismount of an NFSv3 mount when
85.Xr rpc.lockd 8
86is running is unsafe and can result in a crash.
87.It Fl h Ar host
88Only file systems mounted from the specified host will be
89unmounted.
90This option implies the
91.Fl A
92option and, unless otherwise specified with the
93.Fl t
94option, will only unmount
95.Tn NFS
96file systems.
97.It Fl t Ar type
98Is used to indicate the actions should only be taken on
99file systems of the specified type.
100More than one type may be specified in a comma separated list.
101The list of file system types can be prefixed with
102.Dq no
103to specify the file system types for which action should
104.Em not
105be taken.
106For example, the
107.Nm
108command:
109.Bd -literal -offset indent
110umount -a -t nfs,nullfs
111.Ed
112.Pp
113unmounts all file systems of the type
114.Tn NFS
115and
116.Tn NULLFS
117that are listed in the
118.Xr fstab 5
119file.
120.It Fl v
121Verbose, additional information is printed out as each file system
122is unmounted.
123.El
124.Sh ENVIRONMENT
125.Bl -tag -width ".Ev PATH_FSTAB"
126.It Ev PATH_FSTAB
127If the environment variable
128.Ev PATH_FSTAB
129is set, all operations are performed against the specified file.
130.Ev PATH_FSTAB
131will not be honored if the process environment or memory address space is
132considered
133.Dq tainted .
134(See
135.Xr issetugid 2
