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
              Output version.

       -h --help
              Print a help message.

       -f -l -n -r -v -t
              This options are ignored. They are only recognized for compatibility with umount(8).

FILES
