Hi anek,

The fuser -ck option also will help. Also one aspect of troublshooting as far as unmounting filesystems is concerned is if you have secondary swap on the L.V in the sense that it is "filesystem swap"... a portion of swap space that is borrowed from the filesystem.... You will not be able to easily unmount this filesystem... so that's a point that might help u as far as getting out of the troubleshooting loop in the process of just unmounting a filesystem... Welcome to ITRC... Do assign points if you find answers helpful...
