- Some time ago, I think I recall some postings on code that would
- find open references to filesystems. Does anyone recall anything
- about this?
-
- The problem I'm having is related to some utility programs I
- wrote that allow users to mount and unmount cdroms. Occasionally,
- references are hung or open somewhere that prevent unmounting
- a cdrom ("device already mounted, or can't be unmounted" type
- of thing"). A simplest case is where a user has an old shell that is
- cd'd into the cdrom filesystem, and someone (maybe even root)
- is trying to unmount the cd. I need a way to find out what
- open references to a filesystem exist.
-
- Users get scientific data distributed on cd.
-
- Thanks.
