However powers that be (aka the boss) didn't like the idea that much and pulled the plug. Literally, just pulled the plug. Now the problem that I am running into is the web servers won't unmount the file system that was previously my 4.1 machine. These machines are Cobalt Microservers, running mips Linux. I have attempted the following. umount -n / also removed the mount from mtab and attempted to delete the dir, device busy. The man pages for the umount command on these boxes doesn't give many other options. I tried -f switch, but alas I get a return of "forcable umount not yet supported". Any help would be much appreciated.
