System Administration tools UMOUNT.CIFS(

NAME
umount.cifs - for normal, non-root users, to unmount their own Common Internet File System (CIFS) mounts
SYNOPSIS
umount.cifs {mount-point} [-nVvhfle]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
umount.cifs unmounts a Linux CIFS filesystem. It can be invoked indirectly by the umount(

command when umount.cifs is in /sbin directory, unless
you specify the "-i" option to umount. Specifying -i to umount avoids execution of umount helpers such as umount.cifs. The umount.cifs command
only works in Linux, and the kernel must support the cifs filesystem. The CIFS protocol is the successor to the SMB protocol and is supported by
most Windows servers and many other commercial servers and Network Attached Storage appliances as well as by the popular Open Source server Samba.
The umount.cifs utility detaches the local directory mount-point from the corresponding UNC name (exported network resource) and frees the
associated kernel resources. It is possible to set the mode for umount.cifs to setuid root (or equivalently update the /etc/permissions file) to
allow non-root users to umount shares to directories for which they have write permission. The umount.cifs utility is typically not needed if
unmounts need only be performed by root users, or if user mounts and unmounts can rely on specifying explicit entries in /etc/fstab See
fstab(5)
OPTIONS

--no-mtab
Do not update the mtab even if unmount completes successfully (/proc/mounts will still display the correct information)
