- 1) Make sure that there are no mounts using the "/boot" mount point:
[root@probe ~]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg_probe-lv_root 235338552 4335136 228613664 2% / /dev/sdb1 198337 22358 165739 12% /boot tmpfs 1419416 0 1419416 0% /dev/shm [root@probe ~]#
- 2) Unmount "/boot" if currently mounted:
[root@probe ~]# umount -v /boot
/dev/sdb1 umounted [root@probe ~]#
