Re: [expert] Device is busy: how do I figure out which processes?
Hi Damon, You might try lsof filename to see which processes are using it. Hope that helps!

Cheers, Randy Hi Randy, I tried that, by randomly selected a file on the mounted partition, and the command prompt stopped responding before I could complete the command! I haven't seen that before.

I had the same problem. lsof | grep /mnt/cdrom (or /mnt/nt in your case) should point to the cause of the problem. Most often gmc (hate nautilus) or xscreensaver (can't quite figure out why..).

Thomas. That did the trick! Thanks. It's not a drak program, as far as I can tell (it was hours since I ran that), but bash when I tried to inspect a file in it: bash 3875root3r DIR 3,6912288 5 /mnt/nt Anyway, a very useful command.

Re: [expert] Device is busy: how do I figure out which processes?
I think what you really want is: fuser -mv /mnt/nt This will give you (as man page says) '...All processes accessing files on that file system ...', so you'll have the guilty process ;-)) And if you want to know who and launched it: fuser -v /mnt/nt but it would probably say root and from kernel. Good luck. El sáb, 21-09-2002 a las 04:21, Damon Lynch escribió: > Hi, > > I'm trying to figure out why drakfont from RC3 is freezing when > importing fonts.
