Who is holding a file open?

Filed under Unix Notes on Monday, March 13th, 2006 @ 2:53pm by Christen

lsof will tell you who is using what file system. It is a pretty standard unix util, but not all OS’s install it by default. There is a package to install it on HPUX

man lsof

fuser can also be used to find out what proccess has a file open on a file system

man fuser
