have you considered booting from the mandrake CD... and typing "rescue" ???
I have resized my partitions this way before.. in fact, I made a new "temp" var directory copied everything accross.. set it up in fstab and rebooted in normal most.. then resize the old one,, or do whatever you wanted.. point fstab to the resized partition and restart.. worked for me... probably didn't need to do the whole temp one,, but it was ages ago.. I knew less back them.. :-) rgds frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:expert-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 13 November 2002 3:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] How to unmount /var?

Can you try doing a: find . -name \* -exec fuser {} \; Maybe postfix, mysql, rpm has something open?
