It's indeed strange, and suggests something is still using the
filesystem when trying to unmount it.

I've never hit that problem (I usually only test btrfs), and a loop of
100 iterations running this test has never reproduced that issue (or
any other) for me.

Instead of fsync, I think you can simply do nothing (just remove the
call to 'sync'), as the unmount is supposed to persist the
file/directory removals.
Does the problem reproduces this way?

thanks
