[FreeBSD] Unable to unmount
I have mounted an ISO-file to do a network install of Red Hat. Afterwards, I removed the ISO and forgot about the mount.
Now, I am unable to unmount this mount, because the target no longer exists...
Quote:
[root@chinook] root #mount

the usual stuff here
...
/dev/vn0c on /home/user/Red Hat 8 ISO/psyche-i386-disc5 (cd9660, local, read-only)
[root@chinook] root #
Here's the error I get when I try to unmount:
Quote:
[root@chinook] root #umount /dev/vn0c
umount: unmount of /home/user/Red Hat 8 ISO/psyche-i386-disc5 failed: Invalid argument
Even if I put all the files back and remount, I cannot unmount is, this is probably because it uses a different inode now.
How can I get rid of this listing in mount? I do not want to reboot this machine, since it has almost 1 year uptime...

Hi,
I know that if we need to unmount a device, we use the command umount mount-point, example 'umount /tmp/mount1'
But We can also unmount the device with device name example 'umount /dev/hda6'.
NOTE: I think in RHEL3 we cannot unmount with device name. Correct me if I am wrong.
