Hi!
Thank you for your hints! I�ve already been trying to figure which files prevent the partition from being remounted with lsof. The problem with lsof is that a large number of files on /usr is listed, and I can�t tell which of them need to be closed and which can stay open.
Is there any way to do the remounting without a reboot?
Well, it's not a reboot, but it has the same effect in that it kills off
production processes, but what I do is go to single user mode (telinit
1), and then remount rw, apt-get, and then remount ro, and then go back
into production mode (telinit 5).
Hm, maybe that�s a better way to do security updates, anyway ...
This, ofcourse, shuts down all the production processes and starts them back up. But it's not a reboot. So I can still be smug when extolling the virtues of *nix over windoze . . . .
Ja, it would be nice it it works ... I�ll try it as soon as possible :)
