umount.crypt(8)

✨ umount.crypt — the pam_mount girlies know 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the pam_mount manual, section 8 (that's the sysadmin-y one, we love her), and it's all about umount.crypt. she's the one who closes the door behind you when you're done with a dm-crypt encrypted volume. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

umount.crypt — unmount a dm-crypt encrypted volume 🫶

like. she unmounts. she decrypts. she cleans up. she's literally the reverse of the whole vibe. periodt.

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

umount.crypt [-n] directory

yep that's it. one optional flag, one directory. she's low maintenance, she's iconic 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -f — bestie... this one is ignored. like, fully. she's giving ghosting. it originally meant "force unmount for NFS" but now she just sits there, pretty and useless 🙈
• -n — do not update /etc/mtab. that's the whole thing. she's a "don't text him back" girlie ✨
• -r — try mounting read-only if unmounting fails. sounds helpful right?? not implemented, and also ignored. she's aspirational. she's a vision board. she's not doing anything 😭

ngl if you came here hoping -f or -r would do something, they won't. they're decorative. they're accessories. they're the little bow on the package 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

umount.crypt will unmount directory and disassociates the underlying crypto device — and the loop device too, if such was used. 🌈

so like, she doesn't just unmount the directory and dip. she also breaks up with the crypto device underneath it, and if there was a loop device in the mix? that one gets the goodbye text as well. full closure. no loose ends. main character energy fr fr 👑
