cryfs: Unmount an encrypted filesystem.

cryfs-unmount

$ cryfs-unmount ${path-to-mount_point}

try on your machine

The command "cryfs-unmount" is used to unmount a CryFS encrypted filesystem.

In this command, "${path-to-mount_point}" is a placeholder for the actual path or directory where the CryFS filesystem is currently mounted. It represents the location in your file system where you have previously mounted the encrypted filesystem using the "cryfs-mount" command.

By running "cryfs-unmount ${path-to-mount_point}", you are instructing the system to unmount and detach the CryFS filesystem from the specified mount point. This means that the encrypted filesystem will no longer be accessible through that directory, and any files or directories within it will no longer be visible or accessible.

It is important to unmount the CryFS filesystem properly using the "cryfs-unmount" command to ensure that any changes made to the encrypted files are properly saved and synchronized before detachment, and to maintain the security and integrity of your encrypted data.
