machine:~$ mount
[snip]
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/kingston type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000)
machine:~$ umount kingston
umount: kingston is not mounted (according to mtab)
machine:~$ umount /mnt/kingston
[works]
machine:/mnt$ umount kingston
[also works]
When you tell umount to umount something, you need to give the device or the
mountpoint. If you give it a relative path, that won't work unless you're in
the appropriate dir. So I've gotten in the habit of giving a full path when
mounting or umounting things.
