umounting the cd w/o rebooting

[Ricky_4]

Hi,

Whether I used the umount and pfs_umount to mount the cd but during unmounting I can't eject the cd. How do I unmount the cd without rebooting?

How about even you execute this command "fuser -ku /mount_point" still they are connected

Hi.
fuser -ku /cdrom will kill all the connections to /cdrom. so if anybody connected to /cdrom will be disconnected.

Hi
A common error is to be in the CD dir whilst tring to unmount it.

Adriatico,

You will want to make sure that always use the proper method with pfs mounts. Here is the process I use.

vi /etc/pfs_fstab and verify: /dev/dsk/cntndn /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0
(or put these options on command line)
/usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
/usr/sbin/pfsd &
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount /cdrom
/usr/sbin/pfs_umount /cdrom
ps ???ef|grep pfs
kill ???9 (pfsd)
kill ???9 (pfs_mountd)

pfs_umount ???c (cleanup files if have trouble pfs mounting)

The last pfs_umount -c may be the step you need.

The other possible piece of the puzzle is that you may be exporting the /cdrom directory. In that case, you need to do an exportfs -u /cdrom (or the equivalent) pfs_exportfs -u /cdrom before trying to umount the local cdrom.
