NAME
umount - unmount a mounted file system
SYNOPSIS
umount name
EXAMPLES
umount /dev/fd1 # Unmount diskette 1
umount /mnt # Unmount the file system mounted on /mnt
DESCRIPTION
This command unmounts a file system identified by name. This name may
be either a block special file, or the path name of a mount point. A
mounted file system is unmounted after the cache has been flushed to
disk. A diskette should never be removed while it is mounted. If this
happens, and is discovered before another diskette is inserted, the
original one can be replaced without harm. Attempts to unmount a file
system holding working directories or open files will be rejected with
a 'device busy' message.
