Differences to lsof/fuser
|
• |
’lsof /home/user’ and ’fuser /home/user’ would not list processes that have a descriptor open on /home/user/subdir. | ||
|
• |
’fuser -m /home/subdir’ would automatically go down to the root of a vfsmount (e.g. /home) and list all processes, instead of limiting to /home/subdir. |
