Mounting CDROM

[Brian Taylor]

Sorry gang, this one is probably easy...but... I am tring to mount a CDROM on a 11.x box. /etc/mount /device /folder errors out with a 'device busy' message. For the life of me I forget the command to see what is using a file. Can someone please refresh my memory???

TIA,

Brian

Hello,

Try 'fuser' filename (as root).

Hi Brian
fuser -f /dev/dsk/c?t?d?

Hi Brian,

It's "fuser -f /folder" for a specific file. Also, make sure your pwd is not /folder when you are trying to mount something on /folder. I've done that before.

Cheers,
Jim
