I checked the message log and realised that I hadn't unmounted the nfs mount to my other linux box when I dismantled it last week, and cron is trying to access a mount point that it can't. However, I can't seem to kill any of the processes or unmount the nfs mount. I've restarted nfs-server and portmap. I can't umount /mntpoint , it says :
Cannot MOUNTPROG RPC: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive umount: /ducati: device is busy
Hi Jenny,
have you tried
umount -f /ducati
Assuming you have a recent kernel (newer than 2.1.something) that should do it.
Hope that helps
