Not much to add but I had the problem when I used to run gnome (til nautilus-2.6 came out). Since going over to xfce4 it hasn't been a problem. Found this link http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=fam&archive=noHi, I've been having the same problem in Sarge. In my case it doesn't involve Samba but when a CD or even floppy is mounted by nautilus/fam (or whatever is going on when you click a CD device from the "Computer" icon), occasionally it will not unmount the filesystem on the device with an error that the device is busy. Once I've convinced myself there are no processes running involving the device and I'm not in any of its mounted directories, I'll try an 'lsof /dev/cdrom' and will get something like
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME famd 1135 me 26r DIR 2,0 7168 1 /media/cdrom
As Rich said, until I kill famd, I am unable to umount the FS on the device.
I wasn't aware I could stop and restart fam with a supplied init script as Rich mentioned although last time the problem occurred I tried stopping and restarting famd this way but things still were somewhat screwed up until I completely logged out or rebooted.
Anyone know what it going on with this. Just a bug?

when I have an smb share mounted on a directory in my home
directory, it refuses to unmount.
This is new, it used to work without a problem. Perhaps something
changed in the later releases of Sarge? (I apt-get dist-upgrade all the time)
I used lsof and found the process that was holding the mount-point
directory up, which was
/usr/sbin/famd -T 0
I shut down fam with #/etc/init.d/fam stop and I could then umount
the share cleanly.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
thanks,
rich
