To clear a few things up, and as a contribution to the FAQ (Bjorn? Are you out there, Bjorn? :-), here's a checklist for unmounting /usr under AIX on an RS 6000 -- First, you have to go to single user mode or otherwise knock down all them daemons who are referencing /usr: # init 0 Then, unmount anything mounted under /usr. If you have the CD-ROM for info "hypertext" documentation, this means you. # umount /dev/cd0 Shut down the error daemon, who still lives on even in runlevel 0: # /usr/lib/errstop Last, but by no means least, you need to tell your shell not to look in /usr for the national language support messages, and then re-run the shell. # LANG=""; exec ksh # (or sh, bsh, etc.) You can also switch to csh -- though csh has many faults, using IBM's national language support is not one of them. You should now be able to unmount /usr. -- Ed Ravin | I'm sorry, sir, but POSTAL REGULATIONS don't allow cmcl2!panix!eravin | PLASTIC tape over PAPER tape and NYLON cord on an philabs!trintex!elr | 86 inch girth to LITHUANIA... +1 914 993 4737 |
