Boot fails with "unmount: /dev: target is busy" error

Featured Replies

I was attempting to boot my 7.3.1 server after a normal system shutdown and encountered the following error...

mount: /dev/sdg1 mounted on /boot.

Looking at the syslog, I noted that during the preceding shutdown there was a problem unmounting /mnt/cache, resulting in multiple retries, which I'm assuming was the reason for the subsequent boot fail...

Any insight you all might lend in to the reason for the unmount failure and how to get past this boot error would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Do you have a command line open on cache?

I do not. How would I do that?

  • Community Expert

You don't need to, just thought that might be what had cache busy.

Everything else is unmounted. Do you have a current flash backup?

  • Author

Unfortunately, I do not

  • Community Expert

As a first step, try recreating the flash drive, first backup the current one, then recreate it using the USB tool, confirm the flash drive boots with the stock install, and if yes, restore only the /config folder from the backup overwriting any existing files.
