Perhaps the "fuser" command would come in handy here. "fuser" is part of the psmisc package and is useful for determining what process or processes are preventing a device from being unmounted. For example, let's say you want to umount "/home", which is a separate partition. The command fuser -m /home will list the process ids which are accessing any file under /home. Compare that to the output of "ps aux" to see which processes you need to terminate in order to be able to umount /home. -- .''`.
