VXUMOUNT (1M) |
Maintenance Commands |
vxumount [ -f ] mount_point
- -f
- Unmounts a VxFS file system even if it contains a busy file. -f is equivalent to the -o force option. See the -o force option for more information.
- -o
- Specifies the VxFS-specific options in a comma-separated list. The available option is:
- force
- Unmounts a VxFS file system even if it contains a busy file. Programs that try to access files after a file system is forcibly unmounted receive an EIO error. Using the force option can cause data loss for open files. The -o force option is the same as -f, and is included to maintain consistency with other platforms that only have the -o force option.
If force is not specified, vxumount does not unmount the file system if it contains a busy file.
If a file system has mounted Storage Checkpoints, that file system can be unmounted only after all of its Storage Checkpoints are unmounted, even if the force option is specified.
In some cases, if the force option is not specified and if there are any asynchronous Storage Checkpoint operations in progress, the vxumount command does not return until the operation completes. In such cases, the force option can be used.
The vxumount command is supported only on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES9) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4).
