Could somebody please decode the following for a person who is an experienced Mac user but not a Unix adept?

------------------------------------

If there was no error during installation then the NTFS volume can be mounted in read-write mode for everybody as follows. Unmount the volume if it had already been mounted, replace /dev/sda1 and /mnt/windows, if needed.

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows

------------------------------------

Questions that occur to me:

1. Just how do I unmount a volume? I presume it can be done in the usual way with Disk Utility, but how do you do it with Terminal? How exactly do you specify the volume to unmount with Terminal?

2. How do I know if I need to replace /dev/sda1 and /mnt/windows? How do I know what to replace them with?

3. Did I read somewhere that ntfs-3g ignores file and folder permissions? If true, is this likely to change in the future?

Thank you. I'm trying to write up some simple usage tips for MacFUSE and some of the file systems it works with. I will make this available to all when ready.

umount /Volumes/WINDOWS

(there are no sd? and /mnt available in OSX use instead /Volumes/xxx)
