.Pf ( Bo Ar rhost :

Active special devices continue to work,
but all other files return errors if further accesses are attempted.
The root file system cannot be forcibly unmounted.

filesystems of the specified type.
More than one type may be specified in a comma separated list.

be taken.

unmounts all filesystems of type
NFS and MFS:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# umount -a -t nfs,mfs
