Brian, What you did when you: $ mount redhat.iso ./ -o loop was mount the loopback accessing the redhat.iso file on the _current_ directory, thus hiding _everything_ in the current directory, including the redhat.iso file. Don't do that. :-) Make a directory and mount the file via loopback on that. $ mkdir rhcd $ mount redhat.iso ./rhcd -o loop What florin said was to hand "umount" that directory mount name as an argument (not the redhat.iso file name, which is hidden), and that might make things right again. $ cd /directory/of/mounted/loopback/iso/.. $ umount /directory/of/mounted/loopback/iso/ If it does not, then rebooting is probably the least problematic way of accomplishing that task. Good luck to you, Troy >>> lxy at cloudnet.com 05/23/01 11:18AM >>> On Wed, 23 May 2001, Florin Iucha wrote: > Unmount by mountpoint. > > cd .. > umount <whatever> yes, but since the ISO is nowhere to be found, I can't just umount redhat.iso, I need to point umount to the actual file, which can't be found. I was going to try Jay's suggestion (the logical one) but I wanted to see if there was a more creative way of doing this one. -Brian _______________________________________________ tclug-list mailing list tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
