Thanks for the reply and explanation of disc size. Meanwhile, I keep hitting buffers. Using -umount /dev/sda1- got the response -umount: /: device is busy-.
I looked around the internet and found the commands -fuser u /dev/sdb1- and then -fuser k /dev/sdb1- which each returned the root prompt. I then tried -umount /dev/sda1- again and got the same response -umount: /: device is busy-. I then tried -fuser m /dev/sdb1- which returned over 50 items. I then tried -fuser k /dev/sdb1- again and got the root prompt. I then tried -umount /dev/sda1- again and got the same -response umount: /: device is busy-. Out of desperation I tried -fuser km /- and managed to kill the whole box. I rebooted and got my original disc layout (i.e. hda1 (CF) as /boot, sda1 as /mnt/Drive1 and sdb1 as /). After more internet digging I tried -umount l /dev/sdb1- and got the response -could not stat /dev/sdb1 - - - No such file or directory. The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?- I then tried -fdisk /dev/sdb1- and got the response -Unable to open dev/sdb1-. I then logged on to the console and saw 4 mounted items, all with identical free (854Gb), used (1.29Gb) and size (902Gb) a total size of 3.6Tb which is plainly wrong given I have a 12Mb CF and two 1Tb HDDs. The mounts were: /boot - /dev/hda1 /mnt/Drive1 dev/sda1 / - dev/sdb1 /sys sysfs The console then froze. CTL-ALT-DEL did nothing, so I had to do a hard reboot. The hardware report then gave: /boot - /dev/hda1 /mnt/Drive1 - /dev/sda1 / - /dev/sdb1 I have run out of internet searches and guesses. Any hints on how to get sdb1 to unmount, please? -- Shellness ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shellness's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17122 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78594
