NAME

umount.cryptfs − unmount an encrypted filesystem

SYNOPSIS

umount.cryptfs

<DIRECTORY> [−flnrv]

DESCRIPTION

The umount.cryptfs(8) utility unmounts an encrypted filesystem. It is usually invoked indirectly by the umount(8) command when the filesystem type is specified to be cryptfs

The unmounting will be done using the following steps:

Mount options will be read from the file /etc/mtab.

The filesystem will be unmounted and the file /etc/mtab will be updated.

If the mount options specify a device mapper device used as a cryptographic volume, the device mapper device will be removed.

If the mount options specify a device mapper device used as a logical volume, the device mapper device will be removed.

If the mount options specify a loop device, the loop device will be released.

OPERANDS

<DIRECTORY>

A directory to which the encrypted filesystem is mounted.
