Similarly, running `remote.unmount -dir=xxx` can unmount a remote storage. However, this means all cached data and metadata will be deleted.
And if `weed filer.remote.sync -filer=<filerHost>:<filerPort> -dir=xxx` was not run, the local updates have not been uploaded to the remote storage, so these local updates will be lost.
Important! When running `remote.unmount -dir=xxx`, the corresponding `weed filer.remote.sync -dir=xxx` should NOT be run. Since the deletion will be propagated to the remote storage!
So the recommended steps to unmount is:
1. Run `weed filer.remote.sync -dir=xxx` to ensure all local updates are persisted to cloud.
2. Stop `weed filer.remote.sync -dir=xxx`
3. Run `remote.unmount -dir=xxx`
The `weed filer.remote.sync` will stop as soon as it sees the directory is unmounted. So the local deletion will not propagate back to the cloud, avoiding possible data loss.
