Hi,

I am unable to mount a partition, whenever I try I get the following error message:

mount /export mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /export busy

lsof /export does not list anything, /dev/sdc1 is not listed in /etc/mtab nor in /proc/mounts, so I wonder how the system gets this idea?

There is also nothing showing up in messages or dmesg. I also disabled the nfsserver and rebooted the system, but with the same effect, unable to mount. When I try to fsck the filesystem, I get the followign error: fsck.ext3 /dev/sdc1 e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdc1 Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?

I'm on opensuse 10.3, x86_64. Any idea whats going on here?

cheers Sebastian

Just for grins have you tried

unmount /export or unmount /dev/sdc1 umount /export umount: /export: not mounted umount /dev/sdc1 umount: /dev/sdc1: not mounted

Also what does df show.

df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 66152884 57688624 5103864 92% / udev 1027156 380 1026776 1% /dev no unusual output, no sdc1 mounted. Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
