The VRTSvxfs package cannot be removed if there are any mounted VxFS file systems or Storage Checkpoints. Unmount the VxFS file systems and Storage Checkpoints before uninstalling Veritas Storage Foundation. After you remove the VRTSvxfs package, VxFS file systems are not mountable or accessible until another VRTSvxfs package is installed.

To unmount a file system

Check if any VxFS file systems are mounted.
```
# cat /etc/mnttab | grep vxfs
```
Unmount any file systems.
```
# umount special | mount_point
```
Specify the file system to be unmounted as a mount_point or special (the device on which the file system resides). See the umount_vxfs(1M) manual page for more information about this command and its available options.

You can use the -a option to unmount all file systems except /, /usr, /usr/kvm, /var, /proc, /dev/fd, and/tmp.

To unmount a Storage Checkpoint

Check if any Storage Checkpoints are mounted.
```
# cat /etc/mnttab | grep vxfs
```
Unmount any Storage Checkpoints.
```
# umount /checkpoint_name
```
