Perhaps. One of the patches in the group I'll be submitting soon changes the way "busyness" is established. The change will consider a mount busy only if it has positive reference count such as an actual open file or working directory set. I'm changing this to make the busy timeout consistent for both existing versions and the direct mount implementation coming in version 5.0. While I can't do much about mounts being triggered by aggressive filesystem scanning I hope that this change will also allow these scanned type of busy mounts to timeout and umount. I only have patches for 2.6.15-rc5-mm3 at the moment but I will probably need to make a set for 2.6.14 for my own testing.
