How can I find out which user or process has a file open or is using a particular file system (so that I can unmount it?

Use fuser (system V), fstat (BSD), ofiles (public domain) or pff (public domain). These programs will tell you various things about processes using particular files. A port of the 4.3 BSD fstat to Dynix, SunOS and Ultrix can be found in archives of comp.sources.

Unix, volume 18. Pff is part of the kstuff package, and works on quite a few systems. Instructions for obtaining kstuff are provided in question 3.10. more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
