Parameters

–mountpoint mount_point | mount_point
Specifies the directory associated with the global namespace image that you want to destroy. This must be the same directory that you specified to mount the global namespace.

If you created multiple global namespace images over the same directory (mount point), this command chooses the most recently created directory.

–vfsnumber number
Identifies the virtual file-system (VFS) number associated with the global namespace image that you want to destroy.

In AIX®, every global namespace image has a unique VFS number. The stfsmount command displays this number when it creates the global namespace image.

–force
Unmounts the file system even if it is in use.
–quiet
Turns off informational messages for this command. This parameter does not affect error messages.

Prerequisites

You must have root privileges to use this command.

Description

This command unmounts a global namespace image on the client system. It is used in place of the AIX umount command.

After you unmount all global namespace images that are linked to a specific virtual client, you can destroy the virtual client using the stfsclient –destroy command.

To see what global namespace images currently exist, use the AIX mount command with no parameters.

Example

Unmount the global namespace The following example unmounts the global namespace on the local client:
stfsumount -mountpoint /mnt/SANFS_MOUNTPT
