Do I need to be in single user mode to umount /home?

you can also umount /home in init 5

of course it would be better to check that no one works on his files at the time.

if umount doesn't work
try umount -l /home

No.

Depending on you setup you should be able to use fuser -cuk /home to kill any /home processes. See the man page for Linuxisms there.

Be careful. If you have any applications or the session you use to intiate the command is in /home you'll kill your own session.

fuser -cu /home will give you pid's to look at.
