Make sure that you run lsof as root.
sudo lsof +fg /Volumes/...

I've got a network drive mounted, and it shows up in the Finder. I

lsof to see what processes still had it open, and it reported
nothing. I even tried running it as root. I ran it like this:
Then I checked the mounts, and got these two (the second is a disk
image on the network drive, which is usually unmounted automatically
by my backup software):
//WORKGROUP;RMANN@TSUNAMINAS/TWINAEROBACK on /Volumes/TWINAEROBACK
(nodev, nosuid, mounted by rmann)
/dev/disk2s2 on /Volumes/TwinAeroSuperDuperBackup (local, nodev,
nosuid, journaled)
And looking, I see it on the desktop (it's a bit cluttered).
So, I'm puzzled by lsof not reporting anything. Do I misunderstand
its use? Am I missing some flags?
I'm trying to use lsof in a utility to report processes with open
files, and now I'm finding it's unreliable for that.
Thanks!
