Linux OS - Version Oracle Linux 4.4 and later Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Version N/A and later Linux x86 Linux x86-64 Linux Itanium
Goal
Most storage administration activities require that a file system be unmounted; all open files on the file system must be closed first or umount(8) will fail. Resources such as lsof(8) may reveal the offending process, but if not alternatives to a system reboot may be preferred.
