Hoi Hackers,
I had the following problem.
My mail directory is mounted from jupiter:/diskc/net/mail on /var/spool/mail.
My sysop moved the mail directory /usr/local/mail on jupiter and deleted
/diskc/net/mail. Obviously I could not read my mail anymore, so I tried to
umount /var/spool/mail. I got `umount: no such file or directory' (or a
similar message). Even umount -f would not umount the disk.
Editing fstab and rebooting solved the problem quickly, but it leaves me
wondering what the `-f' flag of umount is for. Does it work at all?
Groetjes,
Kees Jan
