fuser's -m option refers to mounted filesystems, not memory mapping.

-m name specifies a file on a mounted file system or a block device
that is mounted. All processes accessing files on that file sys-
tem are listed. If a directory file is specified, it is auto-
matically changed to name/. to use any file system that might be
mounted on that directory.


Yes, you are right. I looked at the access
type section. Sorry.

Using "fuser /dev/sdc" works anyway, even for
the wrong reasons. Read "fdisk doesn't *mount* the drive..." :-)

Kind regards,
