NAME¶
umount.s3ql - Unmount an S3QL file system
SYNOPSIS¶
umount.s3ql [options] <mount point>
DESCRIPTION¶
S3QL is a file system for online data storage. Before using S3QL, make sure to
consult the full documentation (rather than just the man pages which only
briefly document the available userspace commands).
The
umount.s3ql command unmounts the S3QL file system mounted in the
directory
mount point and blocks until all data has been uploaded to
the storage backend.
Only the user who mounted the file system with
mount.s3ql is able to
unmount it with
umount.s3ql. If you are root and want to unmount an
S3QL file system mounted by an ordinary user, you have to use the
fusermount -u or
umount command instead. Note that these
commands do not block until all data has been uploaded, so if you use them
instead of
umount.s3ql then you should manually wait for the
mount.s3ql process to terminate before shutting down the system.
OPTIONS¶
The
umount.s3ql command accepts the following options.
- --debug
- activate debugging output
- --quiet
- be really quiet
- --version
- just print program version and exit
- --lazy, -z
- Lazy umount. Detaches the file system immediately, even if
there are still open files. The data will be uploaded in the background
once all open files have been closed.
EXIT STATUS¶
umount.s3ql returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some
error occurred.
SEE ALSO¶

The full S3QL documentation should also be installed somewhere on your system,
common locations are
/usr/share/doc/s3ql or
/usr/local/doc/s3ql.
