Notice hdb1 and hdb2.
/etc/fstab has:
/dev/hdb2 /vol ext2 exec,dev,suid, usrquota=/cnf/quota/root-usr.quota,grpquota=/cnf/quota/root-grp.quota 1 1
/dev/hdb1 /vol/bigfoot ext2 defaults 1 1
/etc/mtab has:
/dev/hdb2 /vol ext2 rw 0 1
/dev/hdb1 /vol/bigfoot ext2 rw 1 1
Unmouting:
~>umount /dev/hdb1
umount: only root can unmount /dev/hdb1 from /vol/bigfoot
~> su
Password:
# umount /vol/bigfoot
umount: /dev/hdb1: not mounted
# mount /vol/bigfoot
mount: /dev/hdb1 already mounted or /vol/bigfoot busy
Now the mtab entry is gone, but somehow the device is still unmountable.
This problem now occured about three times, and seems to happen while the
machine is up. I am using mount-2.5l
