Hi,
I do:
umount /hda14
and get:
umount: /hda14: device is busy
umount: /hda14: device is busy
Is there a way of finding out *why* it is busy? Obviously it is linked
to someplace, but where?
Thanks!

You can try "lsof" to find what is keeping the device busy:
debian[~]% umount dvd
umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
debian[~]% lsof /media/cdrom0
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() ext3 file system /dev/.static/dev
Output information may be incomplete.
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
bash 455 finotti cwd DIR 22,0 2048 1408 /media/cdrom0
mplayer 1010 finotti cwd DIR 22,0 2048 1408 /media/cdrom0
mplayer 1010 finotti 4r REG 22,0 461630064 1416
/media/cdrom0/Brecker Brothers Band - Northsea Jazz Festival 1992.mpg
You can then try to kill the process or deal with it:
debian[~]% ps aux | grep mplayer
finotti 1010 9.1 1.4 37960 14604 pts/5 S+ 21:10 1:12 mplayer
Brecker Brothers Band - Northsea Jazz Festival 1992.mpg
HTH,
Luis
P.S.: watching the Brecker Brothers is a good reason to keep a device
busy. ;-)
Bingo Luis!
lsof /hda14
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() ext2 file system /dev/.static/dev

Thanks!
