UMOUNT(8)                  Linux Programmerâ€™s Manual                 UMOUNT(8)

NAME
       umount - unmount file systems

       -l     Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem  hierar-
              chy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as
              it is not busy anymore. This option allows a  â€˜busyâ€™  filesystem
              to be unmounted.  (Requires kernel 2.4.11 or later.)

every command line tool should have a “lazy” option
