I've had the same sort of problems and I know a few things can trigger it. 1. Any shells with a CWD on the volume? 2. Any suspended or active processes (or dead/zombies) started with a CWD on the volume? 3. Any nested mounts? The last is speculation from when I had a file backed md pseudo-volumes mounted. It was weird, but what I was doing was weird. A GELI encrypted UFS disk. It had two file-backed md device of 2 GB each on it. All were mounted with the second MD at a mount point under the first. I could alway unmount the second of the two MD volumes, but the first was always busy and always it was gam-server. If I did not mount the second (nested) MD volume, there was no problem. Yes, I said it was weird and I did it for dumb reasons and don't do it any more. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
