Unmount a File System

If a file system is no longer used and needs to be deleted, you are advised to unmount the file system and then delete it.

Prerequisites

Before unmounting a file system, stop the process and read/write operations.

Linux OS

  1. Log in to the ECS.
  2. Run the following command:

    umount Local path

    Local path: An ECS local directory where the file system is mounted, for example, /local_path.

    Before running the umount command, stop all read and write operations related to the file system and exit from the local path. Or, the unmounting will fail.

Windows OS

  1. Log in to the ECS.
  2. Right-click the file system to be unmounted and choose Disconnect.

  3. If the file system disappears from the network location, it has been unmounted.
