VUUMOUNT(1)

πŸ’… VUUMOUNT β€” the manual page, but make it slay ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to vuumount(1) from the General Commands Manual β€” this is the page that tells you how to unmount a filesystem or a resource. yes that's literally the whole vibe. let's go πŸ¦‹


🌸 NAME 🌸

vuumount β€” unmount a filesystem or a resource πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vuumount [options ...]  source destination

that's it. that's the whole shape of it. source, destination, some options if you're feeling fancy, periodt πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so like, vuumount is just a command interface to umount(2). nothing more, nothing less, no cap.

it was designed for VUOS bestie 🫢 β€” but plot twist, you can also use it to run the umount system call directly, without all the other management actions that umount(8) brings to the party. so if you just want the syscall and none of the extra admin drama, this is your girl. ✨

and here's the tea β˜• β€” vuumount is not setuid root. (viceversa umount is setuid root.) the way that this one just doesn't carry root powers around with it? lowkey iconic. πŸ™ˆ


πŸ’– OPTIONS πŸ’–

  • -h, --help β€” prints a short help message and then dips. bye bestie πŸ‘‹
  • -f, --force β€” forces the unmount πŸ”₯ like, for real, when you absolutely need it to happen (e.g. in case of an unreachable NFS system πŸ‘€)
  • -d, --detach-loop β€” if it's a mounted loop device, this also frees that loop device πŸŽ€ so nothing's left hanging around, we love a clean exit

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

(yes, vumount(1) β€” one u β€” is in there too. not a typo on my part, it's literally in the list, iykyk πŸ‘‘)
