I've got a usb HD mounted, and it has been mounted since the weekend, and has been kept busy during that period.
now I"m done with it an want to umount it, but neither umount nor the on-screen icon (when right-clicked) will let me do it:
it is /dev/sdd1, mounted as /media/seagateusb. when root tries to umount it we get this:
<snip> It's under control of autofs. You can open the GUI file manager, and do a safely remove/eject.
Or you can stop autofs for a minute, and then umount it.
