LVOL not unmounting

Hi

I am getting the following error while trying to unmount an LVOL i created earlier:-

# umount /data
umount: cannot unmount /dev/vg08/lvol1 : Device busy
umount: return error 1.

'fuser -c /data' does not show any use of the mount point
/data:

/data is also not shared under NFS.

What can be the problem?

Re: LVOL not unmounting

one possibility i can think is
file systems mounted underneath /data

check for any file system mounted inside /data

bdf |grep -i data

root@spare2:/>bdf|grep -i data
/dev/vg08/lvol1 1048576 17370 966762 2% /data

No there are no other filesystem(s) mounted under data

root@spare2:/>ll data

Re: LVOL not unmounting

Hi,
Use lsof instead of fuser
lsof /data
If you have not lsof, install it and check with it

Re: LVOL not unmounting

You may have someone 'cd' into that mountpoint. Doing nothing, just did a cd into it.

You may have some defunct process that is dead, but still holding on to it.

Re: LVOL not unmounting

fuser -cu [mountpoint)
to see user processes

fusert -cuk [mountpoint]

to kill all

If there is an NFS mount on it that is a whole different thing.

Does bdf [mountpoint] hang?
