Re: what do you do if...

[Kara Pritchard <kara@linux.com>]

Do you have a shell that is still accessing /mnt/floppy or whatever
filesystem you mounted? If so, you need to cd out of it. Then you should
be able to umount the device..

If there is a process that is accessing it.. say.. applix or something,
you'll need to kill the process.

Good luck :)
