This is OD-cant-get-umounted... in view mode; [Up]


Date: Sun 03-Mar-1991 21:05:27 From: cyliao@eng.umd.edu (Chun-Yao Liao) Subject: OD can't get umounted... My cube has a 320 meg HD and the MOD, I use MOD as data storage for most of my files. Yesterday when I tried to umount it, a panel poped up sayig that can't umount the OD because some application still has files open on the disk. So I quit every single applications but still can't umount the OD. I tried "logout". I got logged out, but the OD stays in there. I tried to login again, found the OD is still mounted, at least, it looks like that. However when I click on that disk, it says no such device or address. I tried mount the OD manually at od0a, it says device busy. I them mount the OD using od1a and mount under different name, then I was able to use it again, however the old file stays... and I have no way to get rid of that. any suggestion/remedy/thought? Please reply by Mail 'cause I am 550 articles behind (was 800!)
