fusermount: Unmount a FUSE filesystem.
$ fusermount -u ${path-to-mount_point}
try on your machine

The command "fusermount -u ${path-to-mount_point}" is used to unmount a file system that has been mounted using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace).

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "fusermount" is the command-line utility used to mount and unmount FUSE file systems.

  • "-u" is the option used to unmount (or detach) the specified file system.

  • "${path-to-mount_point}" is the path of the directory where the FUSE file system is currently mounted. This needs to be replaced with the actual path to the mount point you want to unmount.

When this command is executed, it will unmount the FUSE file system located at the specified mount point. This action will detach the file system, making it no longer accessible through that directory.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
