What is a mountpoint?

A mount point is a directory on a file system that is logically linked to another file system. Mount points are used to make the data on a different physical storage drive easily available in a folder structure. Mount points are fundamental to Unix, Linux and macOS. Windows can use mount points, but it is not common.

 # Umount Target is Busy
Lazy unmount: The third and safer alternative to the force unmount is a lazy unmount. A lazy unmount allows the system to detach the specified mount point in a hierarchical manner. It works by removing any references to the filesystem as soon as it’s not busy.

Special man command

If you use less as pager for man you can try

LESS="+/^\s+-b" man wget

where

  1. + symbol to execute next operation after less has opened
  2. / command to start search
  3. ^\s+-b regexp to match -b from start of line

So if you like you can arrange the apropriate function for shell

function rman {
#USAGE: rman programm.name option.to.search (with "-" symbol)
LESS="+/^\s+$2" man "$1"
}

and add it into ~/.bashrc for example.
