try fuser, it should show if someone or something is in the directory in question.
so man fuser eg [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# fuser /mnt/ (gives no return) [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cd /mnt/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# fuser /mnt/ /mnt/: 16337c [EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# ps aux |grep 16337 root 16337 0.0 0.0 4268 1372 pts/0 S 08:19 0:00 -bash root 16408 0.0 0.0 3676 676 pts/0 S 08:25 0:00 grep 16337 So this shows "me" as root in a bash shell in /mnt so /mnt cannot be ejected/unmounted while "I" am in there. This should work for where ever the cd is mounted. regards S -----Original Message----- From: Eric M.
