Hello!
Due to insufficient caffeine, an external FireWire HDD was removed from
a system running FreeBSD 4.9 without first unmounting the filesystem.
Additionally, 'fwcontrol -r' command was issued several times. The end
result is that the filesystem appears to be mounted on da1 and I can't
get rid of it:
# mount | grep backup
/dev/da1s1 on /backup (ufs, local)
# umount /backup
umount: unmount of /backup failed: Device not configured
# umount -f /backup
umount: unmount of /backup failed: Device not configured
Is there any way to get rid of this filesystem without re-attaching the
external HDD (which isn't as easy as it sounds) or rebooting the PC?
