lsof -p /home/name/mountpoint give me an illegal process name message i tried lsof -d /home/name/mountpoint for the heck of it (not sure if thats valid) and i get no output, the prompt just comes back up
sudo umount -l mntpt works! but i read into it and thats lazy umount. i would perfer to do this the right way. i have no related output in dmesg when i try to umount the unmount command i'm currently using in my nautilus scripts is smbumount and it tells me that it only un mounts cifs filesystems. However, I used its opposite, smbmount to mount them in the first place. My system will hibernate fine, but halts at shutdown. -Ian On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 11:26 AM, Chuck Short <[email protected]>wrote: > Is there a process running that is preventing you from umounting the > shares (lsof -p <mnt point>)? > > Can you try the following sudo umount -l <mnt point>? > > Also can you attach the output of dmesg when then is happening? > > Thanks > chuck > > -- > Cannot unmount a windows network share. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427896 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete > > Bug description: > whether you use "smbmount", "mount.cifs", or "mount -t cifs" to mount a > windows network share, > > you cannot unmount the network share. > > I have tried: "smbumount" , "umount.cifs" , and "umount -t cifs " > > many other people are having this problem and it seems that they all use > the same program to unmount.
