Author can't mount var/ home/ ... directories

Hi All,

I have the SuSe Linux Server, which I could not mount after rebooting
it.

$mount -a <-- ## nothing happen
$mount /var <-- ## message: var/ already mounted or busy ### (but the
var/ directory is empty)
$umount /var <-- ### var is not mounted
$mount /home <-- ### messages: home is already mounted or busy ### but
it empty

The /etc/init.d/sshd restart don't work so I cannot do SSH.
becasue I can't mount var/ directory so I cannot read a log file.

Do you have any idea? Plese help. Thanks.

Regards,
Beta

Do an
fuser /var
or
lsof /var
to see if a process holds it busy.
You can read a log file with the less command.
