[clug] how can I know umount command do success!

[Stephen Jenkin]

What are you trying to do with your script???
So seem to be removing the contents of the file trees in '/' filesystem
hidden by /volume1 & /volume2...  Quite an odd thing to do...
Did you mean to clean the two mounted volumes, _then_ unmount them?

Try 'rm -rf', I think 'rm' is getting confused with the '-d' switch as
well.

'rm -rf /volume1' _will_ remove the directory, you don't need '-d' to do
that.

From=20the man page:
       -d, --directory
              unlink  FILE,  even  if  it is a non-empty directory

       -f, --force
              ignore nonexistent files, never prompt

       -r, -R, --recursive
              remove the contents of directories recursively
