umount I/O error on disabled VM volume.

I'm running HPUX 11.00 and Veritas volume manager.
I'm getting an "I/O error" message when I try to umount a disabled VM Volume.
Anyone know how I can force the umount?

Hi,

If I was in your place I would schedule a reboot. It's the cleanest way of unmounting .

Ensure that /etc/fstab has the filesystem commented out.

That's the problem, I know a reboot fixes it, but I would like to avoid a reboot if I can.

According to the manpage for umount, there are no options at all. Just "umount /mnt_pnt".

Sounds like you may need to give in to rebooting.
