Re: not able to unmount

Check with lsof which process use that mount point:

lsof | grep usr

Re: not able to unmount

how did you _get_ into single user mode? The only _supported_ way is to reboot and then interrupt the boot process and launch the boot loader with the "-is" option - methinks you didn't do this if /usr is mounted.

Re: not able to unmount

What do you want to do?

You should try to boot into maintenance mode (parameter "-lm").

Hope this helps!
