Sounds like vold has grabbed it.

is? and how to release it?

Try
        fuser -c /opt

It's a deamon that watches removable disk drives and automatically
mounts them when media are inserted. On my Solaris machines, I have
simply disabled vold, since I only have floppy drives on them, and
use mtools for those. Simply remove /etc/rc2.d/S92volmgt, or (this
is how I do it) create a directory /etc/rc2.d/DISABLED and move it
there. To stop vold right now, do ``/etc/init.d/volmgt stop''.

The man pages are (on Solaris 2.6) vold(1M) and vold.conf(4).

thanks, i'll give it a shot, i'm on hp/ux and i believe
lvmkd might be the culprit.

Brian;

Since I also work on HP system I can assure you that what these guys have been

saying about vold is not vaild on HP.  vold does not exist.

When I need to umount /opt all I do is stop all process that are running from the /opt

filesystem.  You can find this out by using the fuser command.  I running this

command as "fuser -cu /opt"  This will return the PID it look like 354mo.  You then

run ps -ef|grep 354

I use the "/sbin/init.d/filename stop"

If you are running shareprinter you will need to stop these by editing the

/etc/inittab and change respawn to off then killing the PID.  Other wise then

ever you kill it it will start up a new process.

On other thing make sure you are not currently in the directory /opt when

you try to umount it.  That will give the device busy error as well.

I hope this helps
