Sol8
umount -f <filesystem>
&quot;forces&quot; the umount

Otherwise do a fuser <filesystem> and find the pid's of users/apps on that mounted filesystem and kill them, then umount.

And do make sure you're not in it yourself when trying to do this - an easy mistake to make! ;-)

Use the following command

# fuser -k <filesystem>

Another problem I have found is if you are sharing the filesystem that you are trying to umount, you will need to unmount it from all other hosts and unshare it on the local system before it can be unmounted. Regards,
