If someone (sh?) has cwd set to somewhere in the /mnt/cdrom fs, (e.g. cd /mnt/cdrom) that will make the mounted fs busy. 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?
Hey Mike you got me convinced. :)
So, it's still busy... my Penguin box is holding my second RH9 cd captive. Don't tell me I've got to reboot to get it out of there!
