And umount detaches it again. The command df will tell you how much of your disk is still free. // To kill a process forcefully: // kill -9 PID Processes On a UNIX system many user and system processes run simultaneously. The one you are talking to runs in the foreground, the others in the background. The command ps will show you which processes are active and what numbers these processes have. The command kill allows you to get rid of them. Without option this is a friendly request: please go away. And "kill -9" followed by the number of the process is an immediate kill. Foreground processes can often be killed by typing Control-C. // get more intro: whatis kill curl cheat.sh/kill
