Thanks for the reply.
I believe
that u had channelized the solution to my query in this way,
some process is pumping data in the mount specified and even though the files are deleted, space is not freed as the actual pump process is not killed.
This was thought already.
But the situation is not so,
none of the process do pump data to that mount.
We entirely have a different mount point for that. Mount point were it flashed 100% is purely a dump mount and that too - manual dump.
I dont think process dumping data would be the problem.
Can u please clarify?

Hi...
question is this:
How do I mount an LVD hotswap scsi drive in bay #2 on a netra using the mount command? volmgt doesn't seem to mount it and/or I don't know how to view the drives data if it's formatted which it may not be. This drive is not new out of the box so I'm not sure.

Mkill - Send processes making a active mount point busy a signal
SYNOPSIS
mkill [-SIG] [-u] /mnt1 [/mnt2...]
mkill [-l]
DESCRIPTION
mkill determines all active mount points from /proc/mounts and compares this with the specified mount points. Then mkill seeks for pro-
cesses making this mount points busy. For this search only the links found in /proc/<pid>/ are used to avoid hangs on files provided by
network file systems like nfs(5). The default signal is SIGTERM for termination. If a mount point is not active, that is that it is not
found in /proc/mounts, mkill will do exactly nothing.
OPTIONS
-<SIG> Signals can be specified either by name (e.g. -HUP, -SIGHUP) or by number (e.g. -1).
-0 The special signal 0 force mkill to list all processes making the specified mount point busy.
-u Perform a lazy umount on the specified mount points before sending the signal SIGTERM or SIGKILL.
-l List all known signals.
EXAMPLES
mkill -TERM /var
This will terminate all processes accessing a seperate /var partition.
mkill -HUP /dev/pts
All processes using a pseudo-terminal slave will hangup.
RETURN VALUE
Always success which is that zero is returned.
