unmount google-drive-ocamlfuse

Question

I am trying to unmount google-drive-ocamlfuse. I entered the following command:

fusermount -u ~/google-drive

it returns:

fusermount: entry for /home/<user_name>/google-drive not found in /etc/mtab

What is wrong and how to fix it?

In general how can I uninstall ocamlfuse

Answer 1

Because you need mount folder first (in /home/user_name/google-drive):

# mount
google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/google-drive

An them umount:

# umount
fusermount -u ~/google-drive

PD: I recommend changing the name of the folder without symbols. Maybe "gdrive" or another similar

/home/user_name/gdrive

And it's even better to use a bash script described in the post Share Google Drive in Samba

#!/bin/sh
# replace "user" with yout username unix account
MYUSER="user"
# replace "gdrive" with your (path) GoogleDrive Folder
GD="/home/$MYUSER/gdrive"

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo 'Mount Google Drive...'
    # Optional (If the folder does not exist)
    if [ ! -d $GD ]; then mkdir -p $GD && chmod 777 $GD; fi
    google-drive-ocamlfuse $GD
    echo "OK"
    exit
  ;;
  stop)
    echo 'Umount Google Drive...'
    fusermount -u $GD
    echo "OK"
    exit
  ;;
  *)
  echo "Usage: ./gdmu {start|stop}"
 exit 1
 ;;
 esac
 exit 0

Save as bash gdriveini (or any name you want) and execute (don't forget chmod +x gdriveini):

 ./gdriveini start
 ./gdriveini stop

Answer 2

sudo rm -rf ~/.gdfuse

sudo rm -rf ~/your_google-drive
