umount.nilfs2 - unmount NILFS2 file systems
Contents
Availability
umount.nilfs2 is part of the nilfs-utils package and is available from https://nilfs.sourceforge.io.
Description
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).
Name
umount.nilfs2 - unmount NILFS2 file systems
Options
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.

Synopsis
umount [-tnilfs2] [-dfilnrv] device | dir [...]
umount.nilfs2 [-nrv] dir [...]
umount.nilfs2 [-V]
The Loop Device
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.
