Force unmount volume on Mac OS X
From terminal run
dfand give a look to the value for the Filesystem column of output - the name of the mounted volume is on column Mounted On.Say that Filesystem column value for the volume you desire to unmount is
/dev/disk2s2; from the command line run:hdiutil eject -force /dev/disk2s2and that’s all.
If only I could unmount the Sxityforce dmg that’s been mounted for the past three weeks or so with that command line would. but it’s just not that easy…
WHY WILL NOTHING WORK?
edit: I finally found that the friggin volume was running under a process name that had nothing to do with it. Dropped by the good old activity monitor and payed it a visit.
I can rightfully claim my computer once again.
