SMBUMOUNT(8)SMBUMOUNT(8)NAME
smbumount - smbfs umount for normal users
SYNOPSIS
smbumount mount-point
DESCRIPTION
With this program, normal users can unmount smb-filesystems, provided that it is suid root. smbumount has been written to give normal Linux
users more control over their resources. It is safe to install this program suid root, because only the user who has mounted a filesystem
is allowed to unmount it again. For root it is not necessary to use smbumount. The normal umount program works perfectly well, but it
would certainly be problematic to make umount setuid root.
OPTIONS
mount-point
The directory to unmount.

umount -- unmount filesystems
SYNOPSIS
umount [-fvFR] [-t fstypelist] special | node
umount -a [-fvF] [-h host] [-t fstypelist]
DESCRIPTION
The umount command calls the unmount(2) system call to remove a special device or the remote node (rhost:path) from the filesystem tree at
the point node. If either special or node are not provided, the appropriate information is taken from the fstab(5) file.
The options are as follows:
-a All the currently mounted filesystems except the root are unmounted.
-f The filesystem is forcibly unmounted. Active special devices continue to work, but all other files return errors if further accesses
are attempted. The root filesystem cannot be forcibly unmounted.
-F Fake the unmount; perform all other processing but do not actually attempt the unmount. (This is most useful in conjunction with -v,
to see what umount would attempt to do).
-R Take the special | node argument as a path to be passed directly to unmount(2), bypassing all attempts to be smart about mechanically
determining the correct path from the argument. This option is incompatible with any option that potentially unmounts more than one
filesystem, such as -a, but it can be used with -f and/or -v. This is the only way to unmount something that does not appear as a
directory (such as a nullfs mount of a plain file); there are probably other cases where it is necessary.
-h host
Only filesystems mounted from the specified host will be unmounted. This option is implies the -a option and, unless otherwise spec-
ified with the -t option, will only unmount NFS filesystems.
-t fstypelist
Is used to indicate the actions should only be taken on filesystems of the specified type. More than one type may be specified in a
comma separated list. The list of filesystem types can be prefixed with ``no'' to specify the filesystem types for which action
should not be taken. For example, the umount command:
umount -a -t nfs,mfs
unmounts all filesystems of the type NFS and MFS, whereas the umount command:
umount -a -t nonfs,mfs
unmounts all file systems except those of type NFS and MFS.
-v Verbose, additional information is printed out as each filesystem is unmounted.
FILES
/etc/fstab filesystem table

Hi...
I can ping my Windows PC using both the IP address and NetBios name and I can ping my Linux box the same, IP address and NetBios name. I can even use smbclient to see the shares on my Windows PC. But I can't map the shares so that Linux sees it as a drive. How do I do that? (5 Replies)
Is it possible to do something like this? Have a folder shared on a Windows machine and then be able to view it under a Unix server? Sort of like a reverse Samaba share? (5 Replies)
Hey all.
I want to connect my Linux box on the work network (I'm on-site support, so I'm allowed to :) ). I can login as root (or any other user) and get my IP which I want, browse the web as I've set the box up for that.
But what I want to do now is authenticate myself on the network so I... (3 Replies)
Hi,
Is there any way to import data files from Unix system to Windows system?
