3.Do this step only if the umount command returned the response /cms: device busy.

a.Load the /etc/vfstab file into your editor.

b.Find the /cms and /cms/swap lines. Comment out both lines. (To comment out a line, insert a pound sign at the beginning.)

c.Save the file and exit the editor.

d.Reboot by entering the following command:

# /usr/sbin/shutdown -i6 -g0 -y

4.Attempt to repair /cms:

#fsck -y /dev/md/rdsk/d21 ** /dev/md/dsk/d21

** Last mounted on /cms
