ncp (novel) wrongly locked
I'm using the ncpfs to use space on networked novell drives. It works most of the time with most applications, but it has a tendency to halfway dismount itself on errors. Some I can reproduce, but they all involve manually dismounting then remounting. This time, though, it wrongly concluded that the file system was still in use, and refused to dismount. I could find no way to remount other than to reboot! I searched for lock files in the usual places in /var, but found nothing. Is there some other way to deal with this situation? --

did u check lsof? it would show if something is using that partition..i just checked one of my machines and saw that one partition was in use, just because i started a program on which forked to the backgroupd(vpnd) it is notusing the partition at all but lsof shows it as having the mount point as an open file nate On Thu, 20 Jan 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hawk hawk I'm using the ncpfs to use space on networked novell drives.

Re: ncp (novel) wrongly locked
if you want lsof (its useful) id suggest grabbing it and recompiling it: lsof 4.43 (latest revision at ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof) you probably need the kernel source for the kernel you are running to compile it. nate On Thu, 20 Jan 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hawk hawk aphro added, hawk did u check lsof? it would show if something is using that partition..i hawk just checked one of my machines and saw that one partition was in use, hawk just because i started a program on which forked to the hawk backgroupd(vpnd) it is notusing the partition at all but lsof shows it hawk as having the mount point as an open file hawk hawk I just tried it, and get hawk hawk hawkins:~# lsof /dev/hda2 hawk lsof: can't determine system map file path hawk hawk The only thing in the man page that seems to be vaguely relevantis hawk hawk Linux 2.0.3[234] and 2.1.8[89] for Intel-based systems hawk hawk --I have 2.0.36 hawk hawk I get the same result as user and as root. hawk hawk rick hawk hawk -- hawk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 12:47pm up 154 days, 52 min, 1 user, load average: 1.34, 1.56, 1.62
