Sometimes I get a "drive busy" message from umount,

In that case, a file has usually been open.
Does umount regard this as a different situation?
The device busy means something is actively using it.
The taking a long time to umount means no one is
actively using it, but the in memory buffers haven't
been completely flushed.
The system THOUGHT it was writing to the drive but I think the drive
just could not take what I was sending to it. So when I went to unmount
the drive after the copying, umount just ran and ran for an hour and
then I figured something must be wrong...
The vendor offered to send me another drive. Sigh.
