 Any pending loop devices can be freed using `losetup -d', see
 .BR losetup (8).
 
+.SH NOTES
+The syntax of external umount helpers is:
+
+.br
+.BI "/sbin/umount.<suffix> [\-nlfvr] " "dir " | " device "
+.br
+
+where the <suffix> is filesystem type or a value from "uhelper=" mtab option. 
+
+The uhelper (unprivileged umount request helper) is possible used when non-root
+user wants to umount device which has been mounted by an external process (e.g.
+HAL) and there is not entry in fstab for this mountpoint.
