Oy. Use: Noun: The act of using something. This is everyday English, yes? Unless you force an unmount, you must discontinue all uses of any file-system entity on the file system you want to unmount. That's either an open file (which includes memory-mapped uses of things like shared object files) or a current working directory. If you reduce the number of _uses_ (plurals of the noun defined above), then the umount command, sans -f / force option, will succeed. Naturally, after this, the file system that was unmounted will be inaccessible. That's the point of unmounting it. By the way, what is a "cluebie?" > -- > Marc Wilson Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
