9796.0. "device busy error when unmounting a rrip cd" by MUNICH::SBECKER (Every minute - every hour, I feel the power) Tue May 13 1997 07:37

    Hi,
    
    I've the following customer problem with unmoounting a rrip cd:
    
    If he wants to unmount the cdrom, he gets a device busy error.
    
    The cd is mounted like this
    
    #mount -dr -t cdfs -o rrip /dev/rz4c /cdrom
    
    I know from note 3441, that he can use the scu, but what is causing
    the problem ?
    
    Any hints ?
    
    He uses DUNIX V4.0-564
    
    
    Thank you a lot advance.

9796.1Has someone cd'd to a directory?NNTPD::"[email protected]"Brian HaleyTue May 13 1997 11:4013
Hi,

If someone does a "cd /cdrom" you won't be able to unmount the disk.
Check that all users aren't in any of the cd's directories.  I usually
run into this when I use pushd and popd.

Answering the following might give someone more info on how to help you:

1. If you mount it, can you immediately unmount it?
2. What are you doing with the cd (setld, running software from it, ...)?
