unmounted filesystems accidentally


Hi all,

I accidentally unmounted filesystems using umount -a command.

How to recover from this. Please help. Thanks in advance!

when i try to use mount -a i got the following output.



Code:
 
[root@lnx ~]# mount -a
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol05 already mounted or /opt busy
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol07 already mounted or /u01 busy
mount: /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 already mounted or /boot busy
following is the /etc/fstab file

Code:
[root@lnx ~]# more /etc/fstab
/dev/vg00/lvol00        /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
/dev/vg00/lvol02        /var                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol05        /opt                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol03        /usr                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol04        /tmp                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol06        /home                   ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/vg00/lvol07        /u01                    ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
/dev/vg00/lvol01        swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
below is the df command output

Code:
 
[root@lnx ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol00
                      9.7G  404M  8.8G   5% /

So what does "mount" by itself after the "mount -a" show?

You could try
Code:
 mount -o remount /opt
as the remount option is an atomic cmd (ie it allows you to remount an already mounted partition eg to switch from ro to rw). Whether that will work in this case is anybody's guess, but it's worth a try.
See this page http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount
