partition mounting messages
Hey everybody.
Can somebody clear this up for me. When mounting and unmounting hd partitions i often get messages that dont really make sense. For example today i put this in;
and got this message back# umount -f -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /windows/C
however i checked mtab and my ntfs partition isn't listed any more like it was before......so it worked!umount2: Invalid argument
umount: /dev/hda1: not mounted
umount2: Invalid argument
umount: /dev/hda1: not mounted
but if thats the case why do i get these messages?

To unmount, just say
umount /dev/hda1
or
umount /windows/C

You don't need to specify mount point and file system to umount
