Is there a way to fix this bdf error without rebooting?

I mounted filesystem with disks from SAN.
The shadow image disks got synced on the other host and thus I got this error.

Hi:

Try:

# rm /etc/mnttab
# bdf

Bad idea - it just says "cannot open /etc/mnttab: NO such file or directory"

I think it needs a reboot.

Yes, probably a reboot would do the trick. However, how were these volumes originally mounted? If you could unmount them and then remount them you could save yourself a reboot.

simple umount seems to do the trick.
