Umounting problem

[Ong Ying Ying]

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.
