Hi Dawn

When Its ask for second CD you need to umount cdrom/dvdrom, than only you can start installation from second cd/dvd

Please check may be you are using cdrom/dvdrom from another unix window (means your presten working directory is /cdrom or /dvdrom from another other session.)
It happened with me last week :-)

Re: Updating OS and unable to unmount the dvd busy

Hi Dawn:

A common mistake is to begin a software installation having 'cd'ed into the CD/DVD root directory. The mountpoint is then considered inuse. You might want to start again.

So this mean we would have to restore and start again?

Hi Dawn

Before restart yhe Installation you can check this once

I think James is right you have started the upgrade with cd'ed to /cdrom or /dvdrom

you can stop the installation & after that umount the cdrom & aging you can start it with second CD using

Mount cdrom with second cd
# update-ux -second_depot

We've restarted the installation and that is what we are trying to do.

Re: Updating OS and unable to unmount the dvd busy

Ok, I am back. We were able to put the second cd in however, it errored out saying that the Second_depot argument is only allow if the source depot is a cd/rom and it is. Now what ?

Re: Updating OS and unable to unmount the dvd busy

I am not sure about the -second_depot option but did you give the source depot location on the command line ? As in

update-ux -s /SD_CDROM (..other options..)

for example ?
