I noticed /var/autofs/net was mounted twice, so I stopped AutoFS & tried killing the remaining automount process. "kill 14986" didn't work; I needed "kill -9 14986". The following mounts remain: wum:~# mount [...] automount(pid14986) on /var/autofs/net type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=14986,minproto=2,maxproto=4) tor:/home on /var/autofs/net/tor/home type nfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,hard,intr,addr=192.168.103.158) & I can't unmount them: wum:~# umount /var/autofs/net/tor/home umount: /var/autofs/net/tor/home: device is busy umount: /var/autofs/net/tor/home: device is busy wum:~# umount -f /var/autofs/net/tor/home umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /var/autofs/net/tor/home: Illegal seek umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /var/autofs/net/tor/home: device is busy wum:~# umount /var/autofs/net umount: /var/autofs/net: device is busy umount: /var/autofs/net: device is busy wum:~# umount -f /var/autofs/net umount2: Device or resource busy umount: automount(pid14986): not found umount: /var/autofs/net: Illegal seek umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /var/autofs/net: device is busy I triple checked that no process is using these mounts. How do I unmount them? Thanks!
