Re: problem with umounting & mounting a file system

Try to do:

fuser -cu ACBP/db/ORACBPD/data/rbs01 to see if any processes are attached to this mount point, if they are you can do a ps -ef to see what they are and try to kill them off or just issue a fuser -ku on the mount point.

Re: problem with umounting & mounting a file system

Hi Bunty:

If you have 'cd'-ed into the directory that you are trying to mount, you will get the very error you describe.

To see which processes are using the directory that you are trying to mount, do:

# fuser -u /ACBP/db/ORACBPD/data/rbs01

Regards!

Re: problem with umounting & mounting a file system

Hi Bunty, If some processes are running in /ACBP/db/ORACBPD/data/rbs01, you can't mount it. Just check and kill any processes which are running in that FS,

# fuser -ku /ACBP/db/ORACBPD/data/rbs01

Now, you can try mounting it again.
