Eject or Unmount a disk through the Terminal

Published by: Alex


Having problem unmounting your disk? Try using your Terminal application before restarting.

  1. Open the Terminal application.
  2. Then type 'df'. This will display a list of all mounted disk items.
  3. Find the disk you want to eject.
  4. The disk I was looking to unmount displayed like this:
    "/dev/disk1s1s2 208484 208484 0 100% /Volumes/Alex Model Pix".
  5. Above you see first a Unix name "/dev/disk1s1s2" followed by the CD volume name "/Volumes/Alex Model Pix".
  6. Now type "hdiutil eject FullUnixName" to eject it.
  7. Example: "hdiutil eject /dev/disk1s1s2".

That's it. If this does not work. Just restart or poke a pin inside the hidden eject hole by the disk tray if there is one.
