Hello!
After mounting my floppy, I wrote a test file. Now I
cannot umount /mymount/ even after removing the file.
Also, nothing was actually written to the physical
disk.
So, 2 questions:
1. When is data actually written to the physical
disk?
2. How do I unmount the floppy?
Thanks!!
Here is a transcript of what I did:
[root at localhost mymount]# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0
/mymount/
[root at localhost mymount]# vi test
[root at localhost mymount]# ls
test
[root at localhost mymount]# umount /mymount/
umount: /mymount: device is busy
[root at localhost mymount]# rm test
rm: remove regular file `test'? y
[root at localhost mymount]# ls -l
total 0
[root at localhost mymount]# umount /mymount
umount: /mymount: device is busy
[root at localhost mymount]# ls -l
total 0
