Acfs drivers wont unload.

Hi Tom,
The last issue got fixed. It was bug. Thanks !!
After i installed acfs and 2 node rac, now i am upto upgrading my 11.2.0.4 rac to 12.2.0.1 both grid and database.
Before i started the Universtal installer, i manually tried to stop all the resources 'crsctl stop crs' or 'crsctl stop res -all'
as during root script execution this will be done by installer.
But i am getting issue - Stopping of 'ora.drivers.acfs' on 'rac1' failed. Stopping of 'ora.drivers.acfs' on 'rac2' failed.
When i manually try to stop acfs drivers it gives error : ACFS-9118: oracleacfs.ko driver in use - cannot unload.
When i check processes 'ps -ef | grep acfs' few acfs related processes are seen.
When i kill 'asm_acfs_+ASM2' and 'asm_acfs_+ASM1' and manually stop driver 'acfsload stop -s' it stops.
But crs again revives the killed process.
During installation, this wont go like this. Since, the ora.drivers.acfs will not get unloaded, crs wont stop and the installation wont continue as well.
I tried to dig up with the issue, but no result. All directs towards oracle support but i dont have an account.
What might be the solution to this issue?

You can disable it temporarily
$GRID_HOME/bin/acfsroot disable
But seriously - no support account ?!?!?!
Ya, no support account.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the response.
I dont have an oracle support account. My seniors do :)

They should give you access - if they *have* support, it costs nothing to add users to it.
