This paper describes a kernel function named FU(forced unmount) related to filesystem on linux system. FU is a function to forcibly unmount filesystems in despite of busy state of the filesystems. Our current implementation has been developed on linux-2.6.8 and tested in environments that are established by tools, POSTMAR and LTP. This contains considerations of FU and a algorithm to solve problems during developing FU.
