Unmount USB disk
Hi, How can I unmount an usb disk using the command umount?
# 2  
Old 05-08-2010
Code:
# umount /mount/point

e.g.
Code:
# umount /mnt/usbstick

If you've mounted it like this or the like:
Code:
# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/stick

then you can unmount it like this:
Code:
# umount /mnt/stick

If you need further assistance, output of
Code:
# df

would be very helpful.
