rm -d permission denied

[Kevin_194]

Hi,

we try to rm a directory with rm -d but we get "permission denied" Error.

This directory was an mount directory.
A new umount give the "device is busy" Error now!

What ist the right way to rm this directory and to be sure, that it will not touch the old mountet directory.


Thank you
Kevin

When issuing mount command, is your FS still present ? If yes, you can use "fuser -cu" to localte processes that are running on it (stop or kill).

Hi

Check if the mount is still active and no one should on the mount point, then you can unmount it and try and remove the mount point directory. fuser -u will show any process on the mount point which can be terminated and then be removed.
