I ocassionaly mount cdroms and export them through nfs. The problem is
that I can't unmount the cd without stopping and restarting nfs.
I first remove the reference to /mnt/cdrom from /etc/exports and then:
[root@wamego /etc]# umount /mnt/cdrom
umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
[root@wamego /etc]# rc.d/init.d/nfs stop
Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ]
[root@wamego /etc]# rc.d/init.d/nfs start
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ]
[root@wamego /etc]# umount /mnt/cdrom
[root@wamego /etc]#
Is there a way to unmount a shared cdrom without stopping nfs? I've
tried:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart
after removing the reference to /mnt/cdrom from /etc/exports but it does
not work.
And what impact does stopping and restarting nfs have on other users who
are accessing files on other filesystems that are exported? Thanks.
