Unmounting and Mounting fileshare in azure

I have a storage account where fileshare has been mounted which includes nearly 300+ files in that fileshare. Now if I try unmounting it with below command,

sudo umount /xyx/files

Then what is the command to mount it back? Is it P sudo mount /xyx/files ???

I have mounted initially from windows share to Linux OS . Do I need to use the same command or the above mount command?

If I use the same command then will there be any loss of my files?

I tried to reproduce the same in my environment I have mount a file share in storage account:

First make sure you have checked your storage account accessible from public network as below:

enter image description here enter image description here I have mounted my sample files successfully as below:

enter image description here

To unmount the azure file share, make use of below command:

sudo umount /mnt/<yourfileshare>

In the event that any files are open, or any processes are running in the working directory, the file system cannot be unmounted.

To unmount a file share drive you can make use below command

net use <drive-letter> /delete

When you try to unmount the files once the execution has been complete the mount point will be deleted from that moment, we can't access the data through the mount point on the storage. if you want to restore the file if you have already enabled the soft delete. in file share some files are deleted in that time you can disable the soft delete and in file share you can enable show deleted shares option and you can make use of undelete.
