I've debugged the script with strace. The problem is with umount() syscall: [pid 23296] umount("/mnt/tmp-ums-test", 0) = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy) It is somehow strange, because with strace attached I occasionally see correct behaviour: [pid 23776] umount("/mnt/tmp-ums-test", 0) = 0 I need to debug the syscall in the kernel.
