--- Begin Message ---Package: hal Version: 0.5.10-5 Severity: important I'm using a straight Debian Sid ("testing") system. AMD ~2.6G CPU. Western Digital SATA HDs Logging in over SSH, I mounted an iso file via loopback. No problems, there. However, when I went to un-mount the filesystem, umount returned the "device busy" error message. Repeated variations of lsof, fuser, and a manual search (grep) of the open processes via /proc revealed that there were no open files on the filesystem and no processes accessing the filesystem. The solution was to kill hald, then restart it. At that point umount began working properly again. Killing hald alone did not do the trick. Killing hald and then attempting umount simply returned the "device busy" message. It was only after killing hald and then restarting the hald process that the filesystem could finally be un-mounted. This is the third time this has happened. I often access machines via SSH and often use loopback files. Before discovering the relationship with hal I had been resorting to rebooting the machines to clear the fs tab.
