What were you trying to do?
I had used attach to explicitly NFS mount a filesystem under the /mit
directory as /mit/catastrophe. When I was done, I typed
detach /mit/catastrophe
What's wrong:
When I ran detach, I had forgotten to cd out of the remote filesystem,
so I was informed that the filesystem was busy. HOWEVER, when I did
cd out of it, and tried detach again, I was informed that it wasn't
attached. However, I could still cd into it and it was still mounted.
I eventually su'ed to root and umounted the FS. I didn't check at the
time, but I imagine detach took it out of the attachtab before
discovering it couldn't unmount it.
What should have happened:
After I cd'ed out of the remote FS, detach should have detached it.
