command line: unmount a smb network drive We use Windows Server for my company network.

I do use Mac has client.  When I mount a network drive, I use the following command line:

osascript -e ‘mount volume “smb://myusername:mypassword@fileserver/department/its”'


everything works fine. I am a user administrator for my network, this is the reason why I guess I am able to mount the network drive in this way and everything works fine.

But my question is: how do I unmount this network drive? What is the command line?

thank you so much
umount is the opposite of mount. You'll need to know the name of the mount point - that is, the name in /Volumes that corresponds to that network drive.

umount /Volumes/VolumeName


Per man umount, umount may fail for any number of reasons, and the recommend command is instead diskutil:

diskutil unmount /Volumes/VolumeName
