Title changed from: How to "uMount" a hard drive in Kubuntu 10.10

Yesterday, How to Mount a hard drive in Kubuntu 10.10 – Today, How to uMount a hard drive in Kubuntu 10.10

Don’t worry, it is just as simple.

If you didn’t read yesterday’s article, you will want to, before doing these steps:

In the end, it really comes down to simply knowing how to uMount a Hard Drive in Kubuntu.

  1. Hit Alt+F2 on you keyboard.
  2. In the “Run Command” dialog, type: “konsole” and hit the [enter] key.
  3. Then you will type the following code:
    sudo umount /dev/sdb1
    then press the [enter] key. This un-mounts the sdb1 device, made available as “SATA-Disk-2” in the “media” directory.

One additional note…

If /dev/sdb1 were a cd-rom or some sort of removable device:

  1. Hit Alt+F2 on you keyboard.
  2. In the “Run Command” dialog, type: “konsole” and hit the [enter] key.
  3. Then you will type the following code:
    sudo eject /dev/sdb1
    then press the [enter] key. This un-mounts the sdb1 device, made available as “SATA-Disk-2” in the “media” directory.

Again, I point out the fact, these steps are not difficult.

Some additional information you may find helpful, can be read by going to Ubuntu Documentation and reading the Mount documentation.
