I'm trying to mount a partition in solaris 10...

bash-3.00# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /data mount: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 is already mounted or /data is busy

As far as I know c0t0d0s3 isn't already mounted elsewhere, so what's really going on here?

From /etc/mnttab :

/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0       /       ufs     rw,intr,largefiles,logging,xattr,onerror=panic,dev=7800001285811136
/devices /devices devfs dev=4840000 1285811125
ctfs /system/contract ctfs dev=48c0001 1285811125
proc /proc proc dev=4880000 1285811125
mnttab /etc/mnttab mntfs dev=4900001 1285811125
swap /etc/svc/volatile tmpfs xattr,dev=4940001 1285811125
objfs /system/object objfs dev=4980001 1285811125
sharefs /etc/dfs/sharetab sharefs dev=49c0001 1285811125
/usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap1.so.1 /lib/libc.so.1 lofs dev=780000 1285811131
fd /dev/fd fd rw,dev=4b40001 1285811136
swap /tmp tmpfs xattr,dev=4940002 1285811137
swap /var/run tmpfs xattr,dev=4940003 1285811137
-hosts /net autofs nosuid,indirect,ignore,nobrowse,dev=4c00001 1285811148
auto_home /home autofs indirect,ignore,nobrowse,dev=4c00002 1285811148
cordb:vold(pid530) /vol nfs ignore,noquota,dev=4bc0001 1285811149

I suspect the problem is not related to the mount point, but rather the disk slice I'm trying to mount:

bash-3.00# newfs -v /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3: Device busy
