This can seomtimes be subtle to discover. E.g. if you have a shell and do a cd /mnt/cdrom, the "su" so you can do rooty stuff and then cd / and try and umount, the device will still be busy, because the process you left when you su'd is still cwd to /mnt/cdrom. Did I make that sufficiently confusing? He who laughs last thinks slowest. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
