fstat

lsof equivalent in FreeBSD

When I want to umount a filesystem in Linux and the kernel says it can’t umount because the filesystem is busy I usually do something like

# lsof | grep [mount point]

To figure out what files are open in the mount point .

In FreeBSD you may install lsof or you could instead use the builtin fstat command that comes bundled with FreeBSD . For cases like the one mentioned above fstat with the -f switch is really handy:

# zfs destroy tank/data
cannot unmount '/tank/data': Device busy
#
# fstat -f /tank/data
