[SOLVED] unmounting and remounting a volume

anon091 · 03-09-2011, 09:42 AM

I have a volume that shows as the following when I do a df -h. How would I go about unmounting it so I can run an e2fsck on it, then remounting it? normally it mounts when the server starts, so i'm not sure how to manually do it.

/dev/md1 807G 631G 136G 83% /data

Code:

# umount /dev/md1

Post your /etc/fstab here between CODE tags.

With the umount command.

See: man umount

/dev/md1                /data                  ext2    defaults        1 2

Since it's in fstab - yes. If it wasn't, you should've mounted it as

Code:

# mount WHAT WHERE

figures, it won't let me unmount it because it's "busy"
