I checked the message log and realised that I hadn't unmounted the nfs mount to my other linux box when I dismantled it last week, and cron is trying to access a mount point that it can't. However, I can't seem to kill any of the processes or unmount the nfs mount. I've restarted nfs-server and portmap. I can't umount /mntpoint , it says :
Cannot MOUNTPROG RPC: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive umount: /ducati: device is busy
Hi Jenny, have you tried umount -f /ducati Assuming you have a recent kernel (newer than 2.1.something) that should do it. Hope that helps Chris -- Chris *************************************************************************** E Mail Chris@glovercc.clara.co.uk WWW http://www.glovercc.clara.co.uk Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject. -Anon
