DESCRIPTION

22       umount.davfs  is a umount helper program. It is called by the umount(8)
23       command. Its purpose is to prevent the umount  command  from  returning
24       unless  mount.davfs has synchronized all its cached files with the web‐
25       dav server.
26
27
28       dir is the mountpoint where the WebDAV resource is mounted on.  It  may
29       be an absolute or relative path.
30
31
32       While for local file systems umount(8) will only return when all cached
33       data have been written to disk, this is not automatically  true  for  a
34       mounted  davfs2  file system. With this umount helper the user can rely
35       on the familiar behaviour of umount(8). To inform the operating  system
36       that  the  file system uses a network connection, you should always use
37       the _netdev option, when mounting as davfs2 file system.
38
39
40       Depending on the amount of data and  the  quality  of  the  connection,
41       unmounting a davfs2 file system may take some seconds up to some hours.
42
43
44       If  the mount.davfs daemon encountered serious errors, umount.davfs may
45       return an error instead of unmounting the file system. In this case try
46       umount   -i.   The  -i  option  will  prevent  umount(8)  from  calling
47       umount.davfs.
