Very Computer

Help Help I've crashed and can't get all the way back up.

Actually, we've got a couple of 390's, and one crashed over the
weekend.  (No UPS protection, but that's a Dilbert story).
I've got a couple of directories, residing on the machine that
crashed, mounted on the machine that didn't crash.  All but one
of these filesystems remounted ok when we came back up.
The 'bad' filesystem is ok on the machine that crashed, but on
the machine that didn't crash it shows (df) a size of 0.  And I
can't access it.   When I tried to umount it, it tells me the
device is busy.  When I look into the directory (ls) where it is
mounted it says it is not found.

ANy ideas on how I can umount this system.  I can't reboot for a
couple of days.  Or any ideas on how I can find out why the
filesystem is busy.  I'm the only one signed on, and nothing is
running.

Thanks for your help

Try the fuser command (refer to man pages for sytax) to determine users
and processes that are accessing the NFSfile system and kill them. This
works 75% to unmount a file system that is busy.
