Solution

Unmount a filesystem, by passing the path to the source it is mounted from:
umount {{path/to/device_file}}


Unmount a filesystem, by passing the path to the target where it is mounted:
umount {{path/to/mounted_directory}}


Unmount all mounted filesystems (except the proc filesystem):
umount -a
