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
