Hi, run command "fuser -cu /home/edp" and find the processes which is accessing that file system.

Hi,

U can findout the users by the command

fuser -cu /home/edp (or)
ps -eaf | grep -i /home/edp

once u found anything, by using following command u can kill the same.

fuser -ku /home/edp

Thanks,
Vivek

Also check that there are no other mount points under /home/edp(either with mount or bdf)
If they are, then they would have to be unmounted before /home/edp can be unmounted.

Hi,

if the path is contained in an exported filesystem for NFS, you'll have to unexport it before you can umount it.

Hi hangyu,

The form has spoken. :-)

fuser -cu /home/edp
fusre -ku /home/edp

One of these should work.

try as mentioned above

fuser -cu /filesystem ; and then kill the process
fuser -k /filesystem
if needed force the umount
# umount -f /filesystem

Sometimes even if you run fuser -cu you get the follwoing.

/#fuser -cu /home/edp
home/edp:

Which does not give any process information.

In addition to having a possible NFS export you may check to see that samba is also running.
