podman umount will currently only unmount file system if not other process is using it, otherwise the umount decrements the container storage to indicate that the caller is no longer using the mount point, once the count gets to 0, the file system is actually unmounted.

NAME
podman-umount - Unmount the specified working containers' root file system.
SYNOPSIS
podman umount container ...
DESCRIPTION
Unmounts the specified containers' root file system, if no other processes are using it.
Container storage increments a mount counter each time a container is mounted. When a container is unmounted, the mount counter is decremented and the container's root filesystem is physically unmounted only when the mount counter reaches zero indicating no other processes are using the mount. An unmount can be forced with the --force flag.
OPTIONS
--all, -a
All of the currently mounted containers will be unmounted.
--force, -f
Force the unmounting of specified containers' root file system, even if other processes have mounted it.
Note: This could cause other processes that are using the file system to fail, as the mount point could be removed without their knowledge.
EXAMPLE
podman umount containerID
podman umount containerID1 containerID2 containerID3
podman umount --all
