title: Show processes that block umount
aliases: /posts/2021-10-26-processes-accessing-mountpoints
summary: >
A quick oneliner to list running processes that prevent a filesystem from
being unmounted. Using `lsof` or `fuser` for this.

Another quick one: I forget this command on a permanent basis, so I write this
down here -- maybe this helps.
```console
$ lsof +f -- /media/mountpoint
```
#### Update on 2021-11-21
You could also use `fuser`. I prefer this one because somehow I cannot use
autocompletion with lsof and fuser lets me complete the paths.
```console
$ fuser -vm /media/mountpoint
```
