I have a script on my NIM Master that runs with crons and performs mksysb backups of all NIM Clients once a week.
There is a problem with one of the clients as it stucks and never finishes the mksysb backups.
I tried to unmount the NFS file system created by the NIM in order to perform the mksysb but i cannot do it.
I killed all processes from NIM Master and client about the nim operation but i still cannot unmount the NFS.
I even tried umount -f but i still get the message below:
i don't know what else to try. I searched through smitty the nfs filesystems for this server but it doesn't appear anywhere. I cannot understand why it still try to mount it.
Hi,
I try to unmount :
smbumount /mnt/directory
But I receive :
Could not umount /mnt/directory: Device or resource busy
Any idea ?
Many thanks. (4 Replies)

Hello Guru's
We are trying to save some data for 10 -15 yrs. so we created a NFS share file system and mounted on AIX 5.3 servers, keeping in mind that we might need to replace the expired disk/bad disk every 2 yrs or 4 yrs.
Now we are trying to solve. How to protect it from getting deleted... (6 Replies)

umount
UMOUNT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual UMOUNT(8)NAME
umount -- unmount filesystems
SYNOPSIS
umount [-fv] special | node
umount -a | -A [-fv] [-h host] [-t type]
DESCRIPTION
The umount command calls the unmount(2) system call to remove a special device or the remote node (rhost:path) from the filesystem tree at
the point node. If either special or node are not provided, the appropriate information is taken from the fstab(5) file.
The options are as follows:
-a All the filesystems described in fstab(5) are unmounted.
-A All the currently mounted filesystems except the root are unmounted.
-f The filesystem is forcibly unmounted. Active special devices continue to work, but all other files return errors if further accesses
are attempted. The root filesystem cannot be forcibly unmounted.
-h host
Only filesystems mounted from the specified host will be unmounted. This option is implies the -A option and, unless otherwise spec-
ified with the -t option, will only unmount NFS filesystems.
-t type
Is used to indicate the actions should only be taken on filesystems of the specified type. More than one type may be specified in a
comma separated list. The list of filesystem types can be prefixed with ``no'' to specify the filesystem types for which action
should not be taken. For example, the umount command:
umount -a -t nfs,hfs
umounts all filesystems of the type NFS and HFS.
-v Verbose, additional information is printed out as each filesystem is unmounted.
