Cannot delete var/cache folder magento 2
Hi for some reason I cannot delete the var/cache folder. Because of it I cannot switch between production > developer mode.
When I do get the following:
"The directory "fullurl/var/cache/" cannot be deleted Warning!rmdir(fullurl/var/cache/): Device or resource busy
I tried commands:
umount /var/cache > not permitted
rm -rf var/cache/ > Device or Resource busy.

Does your user have access to said folder?

This is more of server issue than a Magento one, you likely have a process using the directory. Have you tried tolsof +D var/cacheto find out what process this might be?

Try above steps,
Step 1. Give "read-write(recursive)" permission specially to var folder.
Step 2. See that files in /var/report folder are readable
Step 3. Then apply "Delete" on the cache folder

This is probably the cache folder being mounted in tmpfs - which is one of the recommended speed boosts for magento - you had it right to umount it - but you need to find it first, issue:
df -h
Sample cropped output:
none 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /home/magentolive/public_html/var/cache
then copy/paste the cache path for umount something like this:
# umount /home/magento/public_html/var/cache
most likely as root - may need to contact you sysadmin and explain.
The script should run -- ah but it's not over!
need to
mkdir -p /home/magento/public_html/var/cache
otherwise it isn't there to delete. what a cruddy script. just delete the contents of the folder!

Run below command to remove the var/cache folder:
rm -rf ./var/cache/*
Also use this command to remove the pub static.
rm -rf ./pub/static/*
After run upgrade and deployment command to re-generate that folders.
