Hello! Due to insufficient caffeine, an external FireWire HDD was removed from a system running FreeBSD 4.9 without first unmounting the filesystem. Additionally, 'fwcontrol -r' command was issued several times. The end result is that the filesystem appears to be mounted on da1 and I can't get rid of it: # mount | grep backup /dev/da1s1 on /backup (ufs, local) # umount /backup umount: unmount of /backup failed: Device not configured # umount -f /backup umount: unmount of /backup failed: Device not configured Is there any way to get rid of this filesystem without re-attaching the external HDD (which isn't as easy as it sounds) or rebooting the PC? -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Save the whales! Collect the whole set!
