mount/umount usb pen - woody 2.4.21

[roberto <robcatanuto@yahoo.it>]

Hi, i have two problems with mount/umount usb pen:

   1. $ mount: /dev/sda1 does not exist
   2. $ umount: /pen: device is busy


1.here is some data useful for you:
when i try to mount an usb pen on /pen i get the following

   $/dev/sda1 does not exist

then i run the following

   # modprobe -r usb-storage
   # modprobe usb-storage

and after that:

   $mount /pen 

works fine. But, if i umount /pen and i try to mount it again i get the same error for /dev/sda1
and so i have to do modprobe's commands as i wrote there. Here some outputs of my system

   # lsmod
   Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
   usb-storage            84704   1


   # mount
   /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
   proc on /proc type proc (rw)
   /dev/hda4 on /home type ext3 (rw)
   /dev/sda1 on /pen type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=catanuto)


   #less /etc/fstab
   # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
   /dev/hda3       /       ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro      0       1
   /dev/hda4       /home   ext3    defaults        0       2
   /dev/hda2       none    swap    sw      0       0
   proc    /proc   proc    defaults        0       0
   /dev/fd0        /floppy auto    defaults,user,noauto    0       0
   /dev/cdrom      /cdrom  iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0       0
   /dev/sda1       /pen    vfat noauto,user,async,rw       0       0


2. actually, i can not even umount /pen since i get

   $umount: /pen: device is busy

even if no one of open files are running from /pen. I can correcty read/write from /pen but it's
impossible to umount it.

Any help accepted!
