Unmounting and Mounting directories in Linux to share with windows
Hi,
I have a Debian/Linux system and a windows system
From windows I can share Debian/Linux folder "/home/tgfrmcc" as I drive
Now I need to unmount and mount the same configuration
How should I do that
abcd-pbhi5:~# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
abcd-pbhi5:~#
abcd-pbhi5:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 73323196 22286772 47311756 33% /
tmpfs 1036136 0 1036136 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10240 52 10188 1% /dev

How do we check what are the mounts avaibalbe and How do we un - mount them
Yes, My Mount to windows share to debain is already done
We are upgrading server.
For time being at the time of upgrade we just want to un-mount the already exisiting mounts drive
I can already see I drive on Windows which looks folder /home/tgfrmcc
But I cannot see, where we have already configured to see the directory /home/tgfrmcc in the Linux
I have executed the command and above is the results
cat /etc/fstab , df
Therefor I wanted to un-mount from Linux and when upgradtaion is done of the windows then I have to re-mount it
Many Thanks

if you have mounted any directory before
if you type this command
mount
it wil show you what actualy mounted in your pc
to unmount
suppose you have mounted this
mount -t smbfs -o username=<username>,passwo rd=<passwo rd> //<win-box>/<share> /mnt/windows_share
so you have mounted share on /mnt/windows_share
now if you type :
umount /mnt/windows_share
it should unmount the share
if you type this command
mount
it wil show you what actualy mounted in your pc
to unmount
suppose you have mounted this
mount -t smbfs -o username=<username>,passwo
so you have mounted share on /mnt/windows_share
now if you type :
umount /mnt/windows_share
it should unmount the share
