Re: Filesystem won't unmount

What does,
"fuser -xuc /fs_name" , say?

If you don't care about applications getting killed then do this,
fuser -kxuc /fs_name

Is there a filesystem mounted over this filesystem?
Do this, "df -kt|grep fs_name".

Subject: Filesystem won't unmount

Has anyone ever had a filesystem they could not unmount?

I looked at it with "fuser" and it was clean.

I tried umount -f. no good.

I examined every process that was running and none had any
sort of connection with the filesystem.

It is actually a file system that appears to hold some Informix files.

Anything to do with "IPCS"?

Thanks!
