But I don't see any reference to a solution (ie. how to umount the stupid thing). My situation is that I have mounted a CD image on a machine for use in kickstart builds. The mount point is /kickstart/image When I attempt "umount /kickstart/image" and other variations on the theme, I get a "umount: /kickstart/image: device is busy". Is there ANYWAY (w/o rebooting) to unmount this, forcibly or otherwise? Or is the solution only to reboot?
