I am embarrassed to admit that many times my cli is sitting in the very directory I'm trying to umount. for example. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount [...] /dev/hdb7 on /home type ext3 (rw) [...] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo umount /home Password: umount: /home: device is busy umount: /home: device is busy Its happened more than once. :) A > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
