 |
|
On the last section of the Gentoo Handbook it tells the user to unmount all partitions, then reboot. But the third command is giving me the error, "target is busy". What must be done to solve this?
| Code: | (chroot) livecd / # exit
exit
livecd /mnt/gentoo/efi # cd
livecd ~ # umount -l /mnt/gentoo/efi/dev{/shm,/pts,}
livecd ~ # umount -R /mnt/gentoo/efi
umount: /mnt/gentoo/efi: target is busy. |

Bananaman,
Something has an open file or is holding the directories open.
Its harmless. The command or command will tidy up for you.
Other shutdown commands will just shutdown and leave things in a mess. That's not so good.

I have closed out of all background programs related to the partitions and tried both commands you suggested. Still getting the "target is busy" error.
Edit: My apologies, I was trying to and the partitions and not
The system has shutdown successfully. Thanks! |
