You can use command 'fuser -mv' with the mount point as its argument.' For example, if you need to know what processes are using /var filesystem so it cannot be umounted, you should give the following command: fuser -mv /var It will give you the list of all processes which use files and directories in the mounted filesystem. Filesystem can not be umounted while any of files/directories on it are used (for example, opened).
