If you are talking specifically about owfs (the file system), you kill owfs, then umount the directory, then restart. Works well.
Example: #owfs start sudo /opt/owfs/bin/owfs -m /mnt/1wire -u --allow_other #owfs cleanup sudo killall owfs sudo umount /mnt/1wire #owfs restart sudo /opt/owfs/bin/owfs -m /mnt/1wire -u --allow_other I'm not sure the umount is always needed, but when owfs has crashed rather than exited gracefully, it's been the missing part and does no harm.
