vxesd reference to originating directory causes possible file system unmounting problems

The Event Source Daemon (vxesd) holds a reference to the directory from where it was started, that prevents the file system associated with the directory from being unmounted. To unmount the file system, perform the following steps:

  1. Stop the vxesd daemon:

    # vxddladm stop eventsource

2. Change the current working directory:

# cd /

3. Restart the vxesd daemon:

# vxddladm start eventsource
