The computer was rebooted yesterday. Just now I tried lsof but all I
got was a list of five processes:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
bash 3657 jjj cwd DIR 8,17 4096 1444985 /media/jjj
bash 26652 jjj cwd DIR 8,17 4096 1444985 /media/jjj
bash 26956 jjj cwd DIR 8,17 4096 1444985 /media/jjj
lsof 32601 jjj cwd DIR 8,17 4096 1444985 /media/jjj
lsof 32602 jjj cwd DIR 8,17 4096 1444985 /media/jjj
I should probably be giving lsof some options. I tried to read the man
page but it was too much.
