Show processes that block umount A quick oneliner to list running processes that prevent a filesystem from being unmounted. Using `lsof` or `fuser` for this. 2021-10-26T10:06:47+02:00 2021-11-21

Another quick one: I forget this command on a permanent basis, so I write this down here---maybe this helps.

$ lsof +f -- /media/mountpoint

You could also use fuser. I prefer this one because somehow I cannot use autocompletion with lsof and fuser lets me complete the paths.

$ fuser -vm /media/mountpoint
