Unmount file storage from dedicated and cloud server

The process of unmounting file storage from the server depends on the storage protocol: NFSv4 or CIFS SMBv3.

Unmount storage with NFSv4 protocol⁠

Linux

1. Connect to a dedicated server or connect to a cloud server to which the file storage is mounted.

2. Open the CLI.

3. Unmount the file storage:

   umount <path>

   Specify <path> — path to the folder to which the file storage was mounted, e.g. /mnt/nfs.

Windows

The file storage works only with an NFS client of NFSv4 version. By default, Windows supports NFSv2 and NFSv3 NFS clients. Read more about NFS versions in the article NFS Review Microsoft documentation.

To work with file storage from Windows, we recommend using file storage with CIFS protocol. If you need to connect storage with NFS protocol, install and use a client that supports NFSv4 protocol.
