Hi everyone,

How do I get rid of the Volume that is created on my machine?
I mounted some machine, and then it creates
/Volume/mac

However, I have unmounted but that is still there, and I'd like
to get rid of it.

Naix:Volumes Naix$ ls
total 6
4 Macintosh HD@ 2 0 mac/
Naix:Volumes Naix$ rm -rf mac/
rm: mac/: Device not configured
Naix:Volumes Naix$

Try using the command "df", that should list all of the actively mounted volumes and where they are mounted.

It could be that the mount point remains and can be deleted. Was this a network drive or USB, FireWire, etc.?

well, I do df and I see this:

xxxx@x.x.x.x: 0 0 0 100% /Volumes/mac

I forgot to mention that this volume is a mounted partition through MacFusion, where I'm mounting a remote machine.

I want to get rid of it though, I'm no longer using it, and when I try to mount the machine again, it seems to be causing problems.

I have never used MacFusion myself, but there must be a method. Via what method is it being mounted? What is the protocol being used to share the files?

Well I don't know. Why is that important? Can't I just unmount it?
OK: this worked.

sudo umount -f /Volumes/mac
