To unmount the server connection, click the socket icon in the SSHFS Win-Manager menu. If the connection is no longer needed, delete the information using the Delete mode button.
Right-click on the remote folder and select Unmount.
Answer. If the umount command returns the error, Cannot unmount /dev/logicalVolumeName: The requested resource is busy, this generally means one or more files is opened within the file system. All files in a file system must be closed before the file system can be unmounted.
Try this:
umount -f <absolute pathname to the mount point>
Example:
umount -f /Users/plummie/Documents/stanford
If that doesn't work, try the same command as root:
sudo umount -f ...
Don't use umount.
Use
fusermount -u PATH
sudo diskutil unmount force PATH
Works every time :)
Notice the force tag
At least in 10.11 (El Capitan), the man page for umount indicates:
Due to the complex and interwoven nature of Mac OS X, umount may fail often. It is recommended that diskutil(1) (as in, "diskutil unmount /mnt") be used instead.
This approach (e.g., "diskutil umount path/to/mount/point") allows me to unmount sshfs-mounted content, and does not require sudo. (And I believe that it should work back through at least 10.8.)
use ps aux | grep sshfs to find the PID of sshfs (It will be the number next to the username)
Then kill -9 $PID, if the other solutions don't work
The following worked for me:
hdiutil detach <path to sshfs mount>
Example:
hdiutil detach /Users/user1/sshfs
One can also locate the volume created by sshfs in Finder, right-click, and select Eject. Which is, to the best of my knowledge, the GUI version of the above command.
