Hi.
Some process has opened file on partition /devel. If I try umount, it fails
because of that. I could invoke 'umount -l /devel' and umount it, but file
is still opened. I know also that 'fuser' can do the job by killing such
processes, but that's not what I want.
What I need is to umount partition and close all files (resources) that are
opened on that partition, but without killing any processes that have
opened files on it. So, complete releasing of resources from that partition
and umounting, but without any killing.
Is there any solution?
Thanks.
