Re: Unable to unmount a filesystem

Thanks, that worked on the /u04 filesystem. I found that, somehow, syslogd
was using that filesystem.

Unfortunately, I have had the same problem with /u02, and fuser returned
nothing until I added the -d flag ("Reports on any open files which have
been unlinked from the file system (deleted from the parent directory)") and
now it is reporting the following:

$ fuser -dV /u02
/u02:
inode=446559 size=58296 23410e
inode=446559 size=58296 24992e
inode=446559 size=58296 25364e
inode=446559 size=58296 58638e
inode=446559 size=58296 59088e
inode=446559 size=58296 64194e
inode=446559 size=58296 64784e
inode=446559 size=58296 75822e
inode=446559 size=58296 90858e

so what is this output trying to tell me ... that although the data has been
deleted that it's still out there somehow? and whats with the numbers on
the right?

Thanks,

Try fuser /u04 and/or fuser /dev/oralv04.
