NAME
       umount.nfs, umount.nfs4 - unmount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS
       umount.nfs dir [-fvnrlh ]

DESCRIPTION
       umount.nfs and umount.nfs4 are a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.

       umount.nfs4 and umount.nfs are meant to be used by the umount(8) command for unmounting NFS shares. This subcommand, how-
       ever, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality.

       dir is the directory on which the file system is mounted.


OPTIONS
       -f     Force unmount the file system in case of unreachable NFS system.

       -v     Be verbose.

       -n     Do not update /etc/mtab.  By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted  file  system.  Use  this
              option to skip deleting an entry.

       -r     In case unmounting fails, try to mount read-only.

       -l     Lazy  unmount.  Detach  the file system from the file system hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the file
              system as soon as it is not busy anymore.

       -h     Print help message.


NOTE
       For further information please refer nfs(5) and umount(8) manual pages.
