add ipfs umount command

[anarcat]

it would be useful to have the opposite of the mount command. few users would know they can fusermount -u /ipfs; fusermount -u /ipns. i don't actually know if that works, even!

[jbenet]

sometimes even that doesn't work, fuse is finicky. one may have to use any of:

# linux
fusermount -u /ipfs
umount /ipfs
umount -f /ipfs

# osx
diskutil umount /ipfs
diskutil umount force /ipfs
umount /ipfs
umount -f /ipfs

which really sucks. agreed we need something like a ipfs umount.

[anarcat]

thing is: umount will not work for regular users, AFAIK. only root.

[whyrusleeping]

umount works if your user has fuse permissions, if you can run ipfs mount without sudo, you can do umount /ipfs without it as well.

[anarcat]

ah. see i have been using fuse a few times and i never thought of that. i suspect most new fuse users won't think of that.

[whyrusleeping]

Yeah, we definitely need better documentation around this.

TODO: we probably should add either ipfs unmount or ipfs mount -u

[jbenet]

We can probably do unmount. We could also alias both.
