Forcefully unmount a linux disk partition

Aug 12, 2014Download as txt, pdf0 likes502 views

To forcefully unmount a Linux disk partition that is busy, first use the lsof command to identify any processes accessing the partition. Then kill those processes using fuser or forcefully unmount the partition using umount with the -l or -f options. Forcibly unmounting can cause data loss if files are still open on the partition, so it should be used carefully.

How do I forcefully unmount a Linux disk partition?
by nixcraft on January 27, 2006 · 6 comments
It happens many times you try to unmount a disk partition or mounted CD/DVD disk
and if you try to unmount device, which is accessed by other users, then you
will get error umount: /xxx: device is busy. However, Linux/FreeBSD comes with
fuser command to kill forcefully mounted partition.
Understanding device error busy error
What happens basically, is that Linux / UNIX will not allow you to unmount a
device that is busy. There are many reasons for this (such as program accessing
partition or open file) , but the most important one is to prevent data loss.
Try the following command to find out what processes have activities on the
device/partition. If your device name is /dev/sdb1, enter the following command
as root user:
# lsof | grep '/dev/sda1'
Output:
vi 4453 vivek 3u BLK 8,1 8167
/dev/sda1Above output tells that user vivek has a vi process running that is
using /dev/sda1. All you have to do is stop vi process and run umount again. As
soon as that program terminates its task, the device will no longer be busy and
you can unmount it with the following command:
# umount /dev/sda1
Following disussion allows you to unmout device and partition forcefully using
Linux commands.
Linux fuser command to forcefully unmount a disk partition
Suppose you have /dev/sda1 mounted on /mnt directory then you can use fuser
command as follows:
WARNING! These examples may result into data loss if not executed properly (see
"Understanding device error busy error" for more information).
Type the command to unmount /mnt forcefully:
# fuser -km /mnt
Where,
-k : Kill processes accessing the file.
-m : Name specifies a file on a mounted file system or a block device that is
mounted. In above example you are using /mnt
Linux umount command to unmount a disk partition
You can also try umount command with –l option:
# umount -l /mnt
Where,
-l : Also known as Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem
hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not
busy anymore. This option works with kernel version 2.4.11+ and above only.
If you would like to unmount a NFS mount point then try following command:
# umount -f /mnt
Where,
-f: Force unmount in case of an unreachable NFS system
Caution: Using these commands or option can cause data loss for open files;
programs which access files after the file system has been unmounted will get an
error.

Unit Two - Java Architecture and OOPSNabin Dhakal

Java Architecture Java follows a unique architecture that enables the "Write Once, Run Anywhere" capability. It is a robust, secure, and platform-independent programming language. Below are the major components of Java Architecture: 1. Java Source Code Java programs are written using .java files. These files contain human-readable source code. 2. Java Compiler (javac) Converts .java files into .class files containing bytecode. Bytecode is a platform-independent, intermediate representation of your code. 3. Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Reads the bytecode and converts it into machine code specific to the host machine. It performs memory management, garbage collection, and handles execution. 4. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Provides the environment required to run Java applications. It includes JVM + Java libraries + runtime components. 5. Java Development Kit (JDK) Includes the JRE and development tools like the compiler, debugger, etc. Required for developing Java applications. Key Features of JVM Performs just-in-time (JIT) compilation. Manages memory and threads. Handles garbage collection. JVM is platform-dependent, but Java bytecode is platform-independent. Java Classes and Objects What is a Class? A class is a blueprint for creating objects. It defines properties (fields) and behaviors (methods). Think of a class as a template. What is an Object? An object is a real-world entity created from a class. It has state and behavior. Real-life analogy: Class = Blueprint, Object = Actual House Class Methods and Instances Class Method (Static Method) Belongs to the class. Declared using the static keyword. Accessed without creating an object. Instance Method Belongs to an object. Can access instance variables. Inheritance in Java What is Inheritance? Allows a class to inherit properties and methods of another class. Promotes code reuse and hierarchical classification. Types of Inheritance in Java: 1. Single Inheritance One subclass inherits from one superclass. 2. Multilevel Inheritance A subclass inherits from another subclass. 3. Hierarchical Inheritance Multiple classes inherit from one superclass. Java does not support multiple inheritance using classes to avoid ambiguity. Polymorphism in Java What is Polymorphism? One method behaves differently based on the context.

Slides for the presentation I gave at LambdaConf 2025. In this presentation I address common problems that arise in complex software systems where even subject matter experts struggle to understand what a system is doing and what it's supposed to do. The core solution presented is defining domain-specific languages (DSLs) that model business rules as data structures rather than imperative code. This approach offers three key benefits: 1. Constraining what operations are possible 2. Keeping documentation aligned with code through automatic generation 3. Making solutions consistent throug different interpreters

Forcefully unmount a linux disk partition

1. How do I forcefully unmount a Linux disk partition? by nixcraft on January 27, 2006 · 6 comments It happens many times you try to unmount a disk partition or mounted CD/DVD disk and if you try to unmount device, which is accessed by other users, then you will get error umount: /xxx: device is busy. However, Linux/FreeBSD comes with fuser command to kill forcefully mounted partition. Understanding device error busy error What happens basically, is that Linux / UNIX will not allow you to unmount a device that is busy. There are many reasons for this (such as program accessing partition or open file) , but the most important one is to prevent data loss. Try the following command to find out what processes have activities on the device/partition. If your device name is /dev/sdb1, enter the following command as root user: # lsof | grep '/dev/sda1' Output: vi 4453 vivek 3u BLK 8,1 8167 /dev/sda1Above output tells that user vivek has a vi process running that is using /dev/sda1. All you have to do is stop vi process and run umount again. As soon as that program terminates its task, the device will no longer be busy and you can unmount it with the following command: # umount /dev/sda1 Following disussion allows you to unmout device and partition forcefully using Linux commands. Linux fuser command to forcefully unmount a disk partition Suppose you have /dev/sda1 mounted on /mnt directory then you can use fuser command as follows: WARNING! These examples may result into data loss if not executed properly (see "Understanding device error busy error" for more information). Type the command to unmount /mnt forcefully: # fuser -km /mnt Where, -k : Kill processes accessing the file. -m : Name specifies a file on a mounted file system or a block device that is mounted. In above example you are using /mnt Linux umount command to unmount a disk partition You can also try umount command with –l option: # umount -l /mnt Where, -l : Also known as Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore. This option works with kernel version 2.4.11+ and above only. If you would like to unmount a NFS mount point then try following command: # umount -f /mnt Where, -f: Force unmount in case of an unreachable NFS system Caution: Using these commands or option can cause data loss for open files; programs which access files after the file system has been unmounted will get an error.
