 To unmount an sshfs filesystem, make sure you are in the `fuse` group (if necessary use "`sudo adduser `whoami` fuse`"), and then do "`fusermount -u mountpoint`".

 ## sshfs on Mac OS X
 
 For Mac OS X, a patched version of sshfs is included as part of [MacFUSE](http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/).
 
-However, development of MacFUSE stalled at version 2.0.3, which does not work on the 64-bit kernel used by default in Lion, and it has subsequently [splintered into several forks](@@http://www.mail-archive.com/macfuse@googlegroups.com/msg02517.html@@). The Tuxera fork (version 2.2.1) does not work with Tahoe-LAFS, possibly due to issue (2) in [this post](http://osdir.com/ml/macfuse/2011-08/msg00052.html). The [OSXFUSE](https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse), and [FUSE4X](http://fuse4x.org/) forks have not been tested.

 Version 2.0.3 *does* work on Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.8). On Snow Leopard it will probably work only if you are using a 32-bit kernel (but this has not been tested). All of the caveats noted for Linux above apply, and the following additional ones:
