Hi here is my question :


root@mailserver# umount -f /mnt/forage umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /mnt/forage: device is busy


how can i umount such a filesystem . It is shared through nfs with a lot
of other directories, but i can't stop my nfs server .


Thanks
Franck

umout /mnt/forage -L for lazy unmount

something is using a file on the mounted device keeping it from
unmounting, like maybe you're in a folder on the device when trying to
umount. 1
