Simple way to umount NFS mount in linux
Hello...

I've mounted a share using standard nomenclature for the NFS mount command with the following command line:
Code:
mount -t nfs -o rw {IP address1}:/ /mnt_for_70 / {IP address2}(rw)

mnt_for_70 is a mount point I created on {IP address2}
I'm confuse and want to be sure I use the correct command on the correct host to correctly umount the nfs share.
Would I execute umount /mnt_for_70 on {IP address2} ?
Not sure if such a simple command will work. As this is a semi-production host pair, I hesitate to just umount so simply & I have no test systems to try this on...

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Blaine

Yes...

What I dont get is the last bit of your code for mounting... Is it just for information? if not what OS?
