Hello...

I've mounted a share using standard nomenclature for the NFS mount command with the following command line:

mount -t nfs -o rw {IP address1}:/ /mnt_for_70 / {IP address2}(rw)

mnt_for_70 is a mount point I created on {IP address2}

I'm confuse and want to be sure I use the correct command on the correct host to correctly umount the nfs share.

Would I execute umount /mnt_for_70 on {IP address2}

Not sure if such a simple command will work. As this is a semi-production host pair, I hesitate to just umount so simply & I have no test systems to try this on...

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

That seems a bit confused. On IP address2 you should simply type the following to do the mount - the / and IP address2 you have aren't meaningful unless you're mounting on a secondary IP of the host which I gather you aren't.

On IP address2 you simply type the following to unmount it:
Unmounting a filesystem doesn't do anything to its contents. You should be able to remount it again after you unmount it. (This is also true of device filesystems - if you don't destroy or reformat the underlying device the data is still there - it simply isn't visible until mounted.)

Thanks MensaWater...

My bad on the Code line... I inadvertently mixed the exports file entry to the end of the line I entered.

I'll try to do the umount as you suggest. I appreciate your time and consideration.
