Subject: automount doesn't unmount

Hello!

I'm using the kernel automounter to mount several cdrom's and partitions
on my smp-box. When the mount expires they aren't automatically
unmounted.
Forcing a 'kill -SIGUSR1 `pidof automount`' works for some devices, but
others stay.

$ umount /auto/install
umount: /auto/install: device is busy

$ fuser -v /auto/install
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/auto/install root kernel mount /auto/install

$ lsof | grep /auto/install
doesn't print anything

Is their a way to find out why the device is still busy?

$ uname -a
Linux titan 2.4.0-test11 #1 SMP Mon Nov 20 21:39:42 CET 2000 i686 unknown
$ mount --version
mount: mount-2.10q
$ /usr/sbin/automount --version
Linux automount version 3.1.7

BYtE
Philipp
