podman-unmount(1) General Commands Manual podman-unmount(1)
NAME
podman-unmount - Unmount a working container's root filesystem
SYNOPSIS
podman unmount [options] container [...]
podman umount [options] container [...]
podman container unmount [options] container [...]
podman container umount [options] container [...]
DESCRIPTION
Unmounts the specified containers' root file system, if no other
processes are using it.
Container storage increments a mount counter each time a container is
mounted. When a container is unmounted, the mount counter is decre-
mented, and the container's root filesystem is physically unmounted only
when the mount counter reaches zero indicating no other processes are
using the mount. An unmount can be forced with the --force flag.
Note: Podman can be used to unmount Podman containers as well as exter-
nal containers. External containers are containers created in con-
tainer/storage by other tools like Buildah and CRI-O.
OPTIONS
--all, -a
All of the currently mounted containers are unmounted.
--force, -f
Force the unmounting of specified containers' root file system, even if
other processes have mounted it.
Note: Other processes can fail if the mount point they are using is re-
moved without their knowledge.
--latest, -l
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created con-
tainer. Note: the last started container can be from other users of
Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the re-
mote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
EXAMPLE
Unmount container with a given ID:
podman container unmount containerID
Unmount multiple containers with given IDs:
podman unmount containerID1 containerID2 containerID3
Unmount all containers:
podman unmount --all
