My cube has a 320 meg HD and the MOD, I use MOD as data storage for most of
my files. Yesterday when I tried to umount it, a panel poped up sayig that
can't umount the OD because some application still has files open
on the disk. So I quit every single applications but still can't umount the OD.
I tried "logout". I got logged out, but the OD stays in there. I tried to
login again, found the OD is still mounted, at least, it looks like that.
However when I click on that disk, it says no such device or address.
I tried mount the OD manually at od0a, it says device busy. I them mount
the OD using od1a and mount under different name, then I was able to use
it again, however the old file stays... and I have no way to get rid of that.
any suggestion/remedy/thought?
Please reply by Mail 'cause I am 550 articles behind (was 800!)

The problem was solved by rebooting the machine.
Thanx to every one who replied with suggestions. I must not had
the problem well described. The problem was that after the "sympton"
I ejected the disk, however, the directory with the diskname did
not go away. No way that I could get rid of that file.
click it, ls from shell, umount from WM/shell gave no such device
or address error message. df did not list that OD volume either.
The ultimate "remedy" was to reboot the machine, now everthing
work just fine.
Again, thanx for all you guys' fast reply and help, gee, you guys
are really great!
