Hmm, i'm not sure about the "process that accesses it", but if it is indeed so, try "lsof" which will help you finding that process :) - otherwise you could try an umount -f (for forcible umount) which might help aswell CU, Sec -- I didn't say we *can't* do it. In fact we can. We also can calculate digits of sqrt(2) in the background, drive space shuttles, or have an AI algorithm write poems in Swahili while inside the pager. -- daia@stoilow.imar.ro
