This almost always means someone (i.e. you) is sitting in the directory.
If you tried this while su'ed and the un-su'ed you were still in the
directory /mnt/goflex, you'd get this message. This may also happen if
someone (i.e. you) is in the directory on another vtty. Naturally it can
also mean some operation is in progress, but generally you would have
recognized and avoided that.

That's what I kept thinking.  Backed out of all su ops, checked all
xterms; nada.  no other vtys opened.  In any case, the mount was done
after X was started, and switching vtys crashes X so I don't do that.

This needs fixing.

I thought maybe so, but didn't know for sure.  Thanks.
But Lars' "mount -p" is more assuring.

I like it because if you happen to have a configuration you would
like to use again, you can capture the output and make it your
fstab, + or - automount adjustments.


3.  I tried lsof but I don't get any output from it:
       lsof +d /mnt/goflex -x -- /mnt/goflex
       Where does it go if not to stdout?

You've got me! But why is there anything after -x? I don't quite
understand.

Otherwise -x thinks the /mnt/goflex belongs to it.

But what if you leave out ALL the stuff after -x.  Isn't it redundant with
the +d switch?  (That's not a Socratic question: I don't know.)

Anyway, I found the lsof FAQ by make extract in the port.  I quess I am not
too good at reading Makefiles because I don't see why it isn't copied to
/usr/local/share/lsof with the README and whatnot.

man -t lsof | sp2ascii > savefile.txt

Where'd you get/find sp2ascii?  I don't see one anywhere, not even on google.
(Except this thread...)  Secret weapon?

That's a good question.  Turns out all kinds of ps converters are installed
by ghostscript.
