Can't Unmount dev/sda3 (boot device)
0
Please help a frustrated user.
I currently run only ubuntu 12.04: I cant seem to umount. I think the umount folder is lost. Tried all possible measures to no avail. Is there a way to force umount. I've been stuck with this umount issues for days now.
I've already applied these but no luck:
sudo umount /dev/sda3
I have equally tried umounting using gparted as well as utility :(

i tried uploading screen shots but appears i will need at least 10 reputations to do that. Gparted says: "the partition cannot be unmounted from the followeing mount points / Most likely, other partitions are also mounted on this mount points. You are advised to unmount them manually" When i used sudo umount /dev/sda3 it said " device is busy.

you are posting an invalid image link. right click on the image after uploading and choose "copy image location", then post that url here. I'm assuming you are using firefox, if not the steps will be slightly different.

I did but unfortunately, there is no option as 'copy image location'. Howerever everything that is in seen on the image can be summarized as: Gparted says: "the partition cannot be unmounted from the followeing mount points / Most likely, other partitions are also mounted on this mount points.

have you tried the above "sudo -i", "umount /dev/sda3" it has more power than sudo, it also works well with the suggestion from Mitch eg "sudo -i" "umount -l /dev/sda3".

Yes! i tried "sudo -i" "umount -l /sda3". But it says device is busy. Unfortunately, am not yet able to post screen shots here untill i get upto 10 reputations.

i tried uploading screen shots but appears i will need at least 10 reputations to do that. Gparted says: "the partition cannot be unmounted from the followeing mount points / Most likely, other partitions are also mounted on this mount points. You are advised to unmount them manually" When i used sudo umount /dev/sda3 it said " device is busy.
