ok, stupid user question warning...
I have some files I want ot copy to floppy... I mount the floppy and
copy in the files. I go to umount it doesn't work... says the device is
busy.
I make sure I'm out of the directory - I am. I do a ps aux | grep fd0
and nothing shows up...
nothing seems ot work... it keeps telling me that the device is busy...
I randomly stumble around the web looking for stuff and trying things
with the below results in a listing below...
I especially got pretty confused when fuser kept throwing up random,
different stuff... but then I don't *really* know what fuser does...
<sigh>
suffice it to say - I'm stuck and don't even know where to begin to find
a solution - I've tried everything I (in my limited knowledge) know what
to do... and I really don't want to have to restart the machine to fix
it... I'd rather know what went wrong so I don't do it again!
Is anyone able to help me out?
thanks in advance,
Taryn
