I'm trying to run xfs_repair on my filesystem: Firstly to unmount the fs umount /myfs umount: /myfs: device is busy umount: /myfs: device is busy lsof /dev/sda -show none ie nothing seems to be 'touching' the disk. confused why its still showing device is busy i did a force unmount then #umount -l /dev/sda but then when I try to run xfs_repair xfs_repair -n /dev/sda, it xfs_repair: /dev/sda contains a mounted and writable filesystem fatal error -- couldn't initialize XFS library lsof /dev/sda shows nothing ie nothing seems to be 'touching' the disk. makes me wonder whether this is a xfs issue now?? Any thoughts???
