As a last resort, you can use lsof "ls open files", one of the optional RPMs in SuSE 5.3. This works, but it normally takes some effort to decode the output. - Scott dizzy wrote:

I am trying to unmount a floppy without success Command tried "umount /mnt" and "umount /dev/fd0" and get the response "umount: /mnt: device is busy"

Can anyone tell me what to try next?

I mounted it with the command "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt" ---------------------------------- make sure you're not in the /mnt dir cd / umount /dev/fd0 /mnt it returns-->umount /mnt: not mounted -iow- a successfull unmount you cant be in the /mnt dir or you'll get a "device busy" rob

Thanks
