That is, you can provide the directory where the partition is mounted or the partition (device) itself as the command line parameter for umount. For example: 1. To unmount the partition mounted at /mnt, type umount /mnt 2. To unmount the partition called /dev/hda1 umount /dev/hda1 Creating or Removing Mount Points In the course of mounting and unmounting, you might need to create additional mount points or remove mount points. To create directories, use the mkdir command; to remove directories, use the rmdir command. For example, to create the directory mydir, type the following: mkdir /mydir To remove the directory mydir, type the following: rmdir /mydir The following TeraByte Unlimited KB article covers some additional information on working with partitions in Linux: http://terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=131 Working with Network Drives Two of the more common network file systems available in Linux are smbfs (Samba), and nfs (network file system). You can mount either of these file systems over a network connection and then Image for Linux can access either of them as a network drive from a mount point in the local file system. Windows/Samba network shares can be easily mounted by choosing the “Mount Network Shares” option from the Image for Linux boot media menu and following the prompts. Network shares mounted via the menu will be mounted using cifs (using mount.cifs) rather than smbfs.
