Hi, Thank you to everyone who responded to my problem and the winner is Osama Ahmed, your solution worked. He suggested using 'lockfs -h /mount-point', then 'umount /mount-point'. Lockfs changes or reports on file system locks, the -h option puts a hard-lock on the file system and would report an error on every access and it cannot be unlocked, but can be umount'd. I did find however that I needed to run 'fsck', over the disk as I believe the above option was like a power cut to the disk. Other suggestions throughout the course of this query were to use 'fuser', with the '-k, -c, and -u' options. Also, using '/usr/proc/bin/pfiles <pid>', which is run on the /proc directory and displays the files open to each process. Thank you all again for your suggestions.
