It is not possible to umount a filesystem by specifying the UUID as it is done with the mount command.

Example:

##Line of fstab
UUID=f6d4ad9e-f0d4-44ff-b878-a75f817e3d50 /mnt/backup ext4 rw,suid,dev,noexec,noauto,nouser,async 0 2

# mount works fine
$ sudo mount UUID=f6d4ad9e-f0d4-44ff-b878-a75f817e3d50

# umount gives error
$ sudo umount UUID=f6d4ad9e-f0d4-44ff-b878-a75f817e3d50
umount: UUID=f6d4ad9e-f0d4-44ff-b878-a75f817e3d50: not found

This also happens in debian testing with util-linux version 2.16.2-0
