Why does unmounting the filesystem returns error "device is busy" when lsof does not show any files held open in the memory?
Issue
- After stopping oracle 12.1.0 on any node in the rac cluster, /oracle can only be unmounted by issuing
umount -l /oraclealthough lsof and fuser do not show any processes accessing /oracle. - Once
umount -l /oraclehas been issued one single time, further starts & stops of oracle result in expected behaviour, e.g.umount /oracleis successful. - nfs related services are not running.
Environment
