Thanks to Tom Blinn, Arne Steinkamm, Howard Arnold, and Jim Fitzmaurice.
The conclusion is unanimous. The belief is that it could be the result of
file system metadata operations, or items in the kernel that are queued up
(like reads and writes). The way to fix it is to bounce the servers. Now I
just need to schedule a convenient time to do so.

Thanks again!
Happy President's Day!

Subject: Can't umount failed disk.

ES40 cluster with HSG80 storage running 5.1B PK3. Had a JBOD fail and want
to move the mount point to another JBOD. When I try to umount the drive I
get a "device busy" error. fuser shows no active processes on it and no one
is attempting to access the drive. HP tech support is telling me the only
way to resolve is to reboot the cluster. This is a production machine and I
don't really want to take her down now. Anyone have any other suggestions?
 
Thanks!
 
A hammer is a great tool... but not for cutting glass.
