NAME¶
umount.davfs - Umount-helper to unmount a davfs2 file system
SYNOPSIS¶
umount.davfs [-h | --help] [-V | --version]
umount dir
SYNOPSIS (root only)¶
umount.davfs dir
DESCRIPTION¶
umount.davfs is a umount helper program. It is called by the
umount(8) command. Its purpose is to prevent the umount command from
returning unless
mount.davfs has synchronized all its cached files with
the webdav server.
dir is the mountpoint where the WebDAV resource is mounted on. It may be
an absolute or relative path.
While for local file systems
umount(8) will only return when all cached
data have been written to disk, this is not automatically true for a mounted
davfs2 file system. With this umount helper the user can rely on the
familiar behaviour of
umount(8). To inform the operating system that
the file system uses a network connection, you should always use the
_netdev option, when mounting as
davfs2 file system.
Depending on the amount of data and the quality of the connection, unmounting a
davfs2 file system may take some seconds up to some hours.
If the
mount.davfs daemon encountered serious errors,
umount.davfs
may return an error instead of unmounting the file system. In this case try
umount -i. The
-i option will prevent
umount(8) from
calling
umount.davfs.
OPTIONS¶
- -V --version

- -h --help

- -f -l -n -r -v -t

compatibility with umount(8).
