Thank you. I should have read the man pages on fuser before asking.

HOWEVER, it didn't go away. It didn't like the "-a" flag - gave me the error:

No process references; use -v for the complete list

But it did take "fuser -km /spare" but it doesn't seem to help.

When I tried "fuser -kv /spare" I get the message :

[rootfwin175 rpms]# fuser -kv /spare

                     USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/spare root kernel mount /spare
No automatic removal. Please use umount /spare

Then I try umount:

[rootfwin175 rpms]# umount /spare
umount: /spare: device is busy

Any other thoughts???
