:-o
Could you expand on that? I read the man, but I don't understand it fully:
-l Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem
hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem
as soon as it is not busy anymore. (Requires kernel
2.4.11 or later.)
For instance, suppose I lazy umount a dvd that is in use. Will I be able
to eject it inmediately? Or will it wait till whatever process that has it
finishes? Is that it?
