accidentally umount -a
Hi all,

I accidentally unmounted filesystems using umount -a command.

How to recover from this. Please help. Thanks in advance!

when i try to use mount -a i got the following output.

Code:
 
[root@lnx ~]# mount -a
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol05 already mounted or /opt busy
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol07 already mounted or /u01 busy
mount: /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 already mounted or /boot busy

following is the /etc/fstab file

Code:
 
[root@lnx ~]# more /etc/fstab
/dev/vg00/lvol00        /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
/dev/vg00/lvol02        /var                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol05        /opt                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol03        /usr                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol04        /tmp                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol06        /home                   ext3    defaults        1 2

tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
/dev/vg00/lvol01        swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

below is the df command output

Code:
 
[root@lnx ~]# df -h

Hi Corona688,

I got the following error when i used mount -a

Code:
 
[root@lnx ~]# mount -a
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol05 already mounted or /opt busy
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol07 already mounted or /u01 busy
mount: /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 already mounted or /boot busy

I even tried to mount them manually but got the same error saying

Code:
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol05 already mounted or /opt busy

Very odd.

How about cat /proc/mounts?

You could try rebooting of course.

Hi Corona688,

Thanks for prompt response.
Rebooting the server solved the problem.
Thanks again.
