Re: Umounting problem

I get this "device is busy" error message too, in fact everytime when I want to umount something. I usually mount additional dev inside windows and cannot umount inside window. However, outside window, umount can work. I guess Redhat 9 is like this - don't know if this was done on purpose cause they had a reason for this or a "bug". I have not tried FC, so I don't know.

Suse does not have such a problem.
