Force umount on Linux
Posted by Martin Perron in HowTo - Linux • 1 commentDid you ever had a problem to unmount a drive/share on a linux system? Maybe the mount share is not accessible but the mount still there.
Example:
umount /mnt/blah
unmount error 16 = Device or resource busy
Refer to the umount.cifs(8) manual page (man 8 umount.cifs)
You can do the following:
umount -f /mnt/blah
If it doesnt work, use the lazyness method:
umount [...]
