Thanks to: Michael Connolly Steve Mickeler Richard Felkins Frank Huang Richard Lacroix Jay Lessert The -f option in 8 is now a reality. This forces an unmount of the filesystem no matter what processes are using it. VERY COOL! And about time....thanks Sun. It was also suggested that fuser and kill to rid the filesystem of all used processes but I have found that this does not always work. I can run fuser -c on a fs and have it return nothing but still not be able to unmount it. And fuser -k does not really work. ~JK Jeff Kennedy wrote: > > OK, so here's a nasty little change in Solaris 8.
