one thing that has caught me out is that if you spawn a shell from that
file stystem it will be busy eg:
cd /cdrom/foo
su
cd /
you look through all your terminals and none are in /cdrom/* but the su
session was started from there so must be nohuped or closed [not sure if
nohup would work -close definately does] before the /cdrom is unmounted.
as others have said, lsof is good but you'll need to do something with the
output.
