I have just successfully installed Fedora Core 6, and other than some
issues with installing software caused by having no network connection
{no yum for me :-( } all was working well. That is until I tried to
eject a CD and it returned an error stating that some application had
the drive in use. I was doing the following from the icon that appears
on the Gnome desktop when the CD is mounted under my user account:
Right-click the icon, left click the Eject option on the pop-up menu.
When that didn't work I thought I would close down all open windows
and unmount it manually from a terminal window. With the terminal the
only window left open, I logged into the root account using SU. I
figured the superuser account could force the umount command to work
but still no luck. I have no idea what program might have the CD
locked up, and the error messages from umount give no clue. So here's
my two questions that arise from this:
1) Is there a more aggressive command than umount for forcing
processes and users off a mounted drive? or better still ...
2) Is there a command that will allow me to trace the processes and/or
users that are using a file? If I had a method to track down the
process that was holding me up I could then kill it. I assume that
the /dev/cda path to the CD drive would be treated just like a normal
file for the purpose of tracing open connections to it.
The 'lsof' and 'fuser' commands will help find which
processes have files open.
