I finally let my .Mac membership expire. Really, I never used my .mac e-mail address anymore, which was the only real benefit to the service for me. Now that I’m hosting all my sites and calendars from the mini, there’s no point in shelling out $100/yr for .Mac.
Letting go, however, hasn’t been as easy as I’d hoped. The day before my account expired, I downloaded the contents of my iDisk to the mini. There are a lot of files, so I let the copy job run overnight. The next day my account expired, but I was still connected to my iDisk. And now I can’t seem to disconnect from it. It doesn’t show up in the Finder, but it does appear in Volumes/ on the command line. sudo umount iDisk/ gives me a “Resource busy” error, and I can’t kill the mirroragent process. I suppose a restart might fix it, but I hate to do that for something that should be easily resolved in some other way.
Update: Kevin got me through it, as usual. Turns out I needed to add the -f option to my umount command, which forced the disk to unmount. TTYL, iDisk! Or not!
