I just noticed that the problem has ocurred again. I transfered a
123MB file from hard disk to the USB stick and after the file
transfer was complete the USB stick refused to unmount citing that
it was still busy.
I hate to ask, but did you have a terminal open to a directory on the
USB drive when you tried to umount the drive?
No I did not. When I first got the "device busy" or "you are root"
message, that was the first thing I checked. It is the first thing I
always check when umounting gives me any problems.
What about running lsof and looking for what is open on your USB stick?
