This is really disappointing. And it seems to contradict the umount.davfs description: "Its purpose is to prevent the umount command from returning unless mount.davfs has synchronized all its cached files with the webdav server. ... Depending on the amount of data and the quality of the connection, unmounting a davfs2 file system may take some seconds up to some hours."

Then what should we do before turning off the PC and going home, to ensure all changes are uploaded and can bee seen from elsewhere? Is there a way to at least check the current upload status?

Could you please consider adding some "force sync" or "graceful unmount" facility, with some indication if it failed (e.g. no network)?

This does not look like a bug report.

"How can I force a sync via command line without unmounting the directory?"

You can't.
davfs2 will try to upload the file delay_upload seconds after it was closed. Default is 10 seconds. You can change this value in your davfs2.conf file. If you change this to 0 then davfs2 will try to upload immediately after the file is closed.

But it alwas depends on the qualitiy of the connection. And other file system actions may delay the upload (except in case of "delay_upload 0").

You should not try to force an upload by unmounting. To avoid being killed by shutdown davfs2 may terminate without uploading (trying instead when you mount the file system the next time).
