Try the following to see if someone process is playing namespace games
find /proc -name mounts | xargs grep /dev/sda3
(replace /dev/sda3 with the device that you think is unmounted).
When you find the process, kill it. (Or try doing a service XXX
restart assuming that the device has been unmounted in the "normal"
mount namespace.)
Another simple thing to try doing is to go into single user mode,
which will kill off all/most of your userspace processes, which may
also have the desired effect. Much more of a blunt hammer, though.
