(Answer) (Category) SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : (Category) Media/Device Information, Filesystems, and Disks :
Why would unmounting fail?
A filesystem will not unmount if someone is using the filesystem, which includes having cd'd into the filesystem and leaving that terminal in that directory, and when a user is using a file as in vi. Only a privileged user can use the mount command.


   See the section in this faq about fuser to clear the umount lock.
