NAME

       fs_rmmount - Removes a mount point

SYNOPSIS

       fs rmmount -dir <directory>+ [-help]

       fs rm -d <directory>+ [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The fs rmmount command removes the mount point named by the -dir argument from the file system. The
       corresponding volume remains on its host partition or partitions, but is inaccessible if there are no
       other mount points for it.

OPTIONS

       -dir <directory>+
           Names the mount point to delete from the file system. The last element in the pathname must be an
           actual name, not a shorthand notation such as "dot" (".") or "dot dot" ("..").

           Specify the read/write path to the directory, to avoid the failure that results from attempting to
           delete a mount point from a read-only volume. By convention, the read/write path is indicated by
           placing a period before the cell name at the pathname's second level (for example,
           /afs/.example.com). For further discussion of the concept of read/write and read-only paths through
           the filespace, see the fs mkmount reference page.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       The following command removes the mount points jones and terry from the current working directory (the
       /afs/example.com/usr directory).

          % fs rmmount jones terry

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must have the "d" (delete) permission on the ACL of the directory that houses each mount
       point.
