Hi Neil, thanks I should have stayed with RH9, you may recall you helped me set that up. However My fstab: bex.whitburn:/home /mnt/bex nfs user,noauto 0 0 pedro.whitburn:/home/peter /mnt/pedro nfs user,noauto 0 0 I have rw as I use it for backup. I try unmounting before shutdown.
So you are writing the backup TO one of these machines? Why? Run the backup from the machine with the backup media writer, like a CDRW, and let that machine read the data from the others.
[peter@xxxxx peter]$ umount /mnt/pedro umount: /mnt/pedro: device is busy umount: /mnt/pedro: device is busy
Something is currently using that drive. Make sure you don't have: 1. a terminal window that has an active working directory on or below that mount point. This includes symlinks. 2. A Konqueror window open that once had a view of that mountpoint, even a few hours old. 3. Any other process that is reading a file from anywhere beneath that mount point. 4. If you are using SSH to use a shell on another machine, make sure that BEFORE you call SSH, the original terminal does not have either of these mount points as working directory. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
