can "/proc/bus/usb" be unmounted

Post by comfone »

Hi All
We are using 2 Nagios Log Server Instances Version 1.4.2 (VM appliance)
Mount lists the following on your VM appliance:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=5122436k,nr_inodes=1280609,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,relatime)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,relatime)
Can "/proc/bus/usb" be umounted?
Thank you for your feedback.

No. This is an OS level mount point required for access to USB devices. If you have a USB controller, your OS will mount this filesystem.

Hi All
I have removed the USB Controller on the VN and unmounted the USB on the OS.
Thank you.
