Force dismount a stuck volume
Authored by: fearless on May 20, '05 07:26:29PM
Is invoking df really necessary? From the help screen, in Tiger:
G4:~ peter$ hdiutil eject -help
        eject is a synonym for detach...
hdiutil detach: detach disk image from system
Usage:  hdiutil detach 

       Note: you can specify a mount point (e.g. /Volumes/MyDisk)
              instead of a dev node (e.g. /dev/disk1)

        Options:
            -force              forcibly detach

        Common options:
            -verbose
            -debug
            -quiet
