# podman-volume-unmount(1)

Unmount a volume

## NAME

podman-volume-unmount - Unmount a volume

## SYNOPSIS

**podman volume unmount** *volume* \[...\]

**podman volume umount** *volume* \[...\]

## DESCRIPTION

Unmounts the specified volume, if there are no other containers using it.

Volume storage increments a mount counter each time a volume is mounted. When a volume is unmounted, the mount counter is decremented, and the volume's filesystem is physically unmounted only when the mount counter reaches zero indicating no other processes are using the mount.

## EXAMPLE

Unmount volume with a given ID:

```
podman volume unmount volumeID
```

Unmount multiple volumes with given IDs:

```
podman volume unmount volumeID1 volumeID2 volumeID3
```
