Introduction
If you no longer wish to have a secondary volume attached to your system it’s as easy to remove as it is to attach.
Prerequisites
-
Orbit with Secondary Volume Attached
Unmounting the Volume
-
You must remove the added volume from your /etc/fstab file before detaching the volume. First you need to check if any processes are running. You can do so by running.
sudo lsof +f -- /mnt/NAME
NAME: name of the volume
-
Then you can unmount it by running.
sudo unmount /mnt/NAME
-
Now you need to remove it from the “/etc/fstab” file, which can be done by running.
sudo nano /etc/fstab
Remove any entries involving your volume
-
Now remove the mount point.
sudo rmdir /mnt/NAME
Detaching the Volume
-
To detach a volume, first navigate to the “My Volumes” tab.
-
Once there, select the volume that you want to remove and press “Detach”
