Unable to umount
Greetings On two separate systems running 8.2 Stable updated yesterday, I am unable to umount any USB thumb drives after mounting. I have tried both Fat32 and UFS formatted drives. I have tried with and without HAL enabled. I am running with all ports up to date and the latest XFCE4. This problem started with the upgrade of XFCE4 and Xorg. Here is how it looks [robert@dell64] ~ mount_msdosfs /dev/da6s1 Flash [robert@dell64] ~ ls -l Flash total 128 drwxr-xr-x 1 robert robert 32768 Jan 21 18:18 Android drwxr-xr-x 1 robert robert 32768 Jan 6 1980 LOST.DIR drwxr-xr-x 1 robert robert 32768 Jan 21 17:36 rosie_scroll drwxr-xr-x 1 robert robert 32768 Jan 21 16:53 rssreader [robert@dell64] ~ umount Flash umount: unmount of /home/robert/Flash failed: Device busy [robert@dell64] ~ umount /dev/da6s1 umount: unmount of /home/robert/Flash failed: Device busy If I log out of XFCE4 to the CLI, I can then umount normally.

Unable to umount Cdrom drive.
Hi, I have FreeBSD 4.10 installed. When I mount the cdrom with #mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom everything works fine.I can get to my ports and everything But when I want to swap cds and I type #umount /cdrom I get this error message:: Unable to umount /cdrom, Device is busy.

Try using: # fstat -f /cdrom to see if you can identify the culprits. Then either close them down, or CD to elsewhere in the filesystem if it's an interactive session.
