I'm not being cute, here. I can't count the # of times I wondered why I couldn't umount ...and discovered I either had konqueror open in the device or the cli sitting in the innards of the CD or whatever I was looking at.
HTH...
Thanks for the reply. I understand. It's like "is it plugged in?" which is always pertinant. The reason why I asked was that I had made quite sure to back out of the ISO, or NFS mounts before attempting to unmount. Ack!!! Now I'm sitting here trying it in another environment, unmounting a couple NFS shares and it's working. Argh! Oh well. Thanks for the tip about lsof. -- _____________________ Christopher R.
