Trying to fsck my root partition on a running system, and I am now
consistently getting:

 #init 1
 (appears to go alright ... )
 #umount -a
  mount: / device busy

(or similar). Trying 

 #mount -n -o remount,ro /

also fails with same error. What is keeping this busy? Extremely few
processes were running (less than 10?). This *should* work, no?
Also, I occasionally get various FS as busy on shutdown. Right now I
just want to run e2fsck, but after a zillion tries, I give up.

Redhat 6.2 (with updates), kernel 2.2.15pre9 SMP. / is on IDE0, if that
makes a difference. I've had the devices busy problem on shutdown with
various kernels going back at least several months. Sometimes it
works, sometimes it doesn't. Right now, it won't :( Any clues?
