Unknown fs when unmounting a disk

[JordanTBoehm]

I have successfully mounted my USB stick, but I can't seem to unmount. Here is what I entered into the shell: [cmd=]umount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1[/cmd] and this is what it spits out:

umount: /dev/da0s1: unknown file system

I formatted this USB stick on a computer running Windows XP by right-clicking on the USB stick, and then hitting "Format..." :\

Unmount the mountpoint, not the device. For example, if you mounted it on /mnt, unmount it with
# umount /mnt

That worked, thanks!

If you want to unmount all your Windows filesystems in one go you can also do:
# umount -a -t msdosfs

Thanks, good to know.
