Re: Filesystem won't unmount

On another note, a Samba share can cause the same issue...

Once I came across a filesystem that would not umount,
found out that it was exported via NFS to other
servers and although it was not mounted by any of
those servers , I wasn't able to unmount it until I
un-exported and removed it from /etc/exports.

Enrique.

one possible cause that�s hard to find out:
you have a process running that has either its

neither fuser nor lsof reports that (reliably)

another common cause is to have a fs mounted within
that fs to umount

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!
