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.
