I thought this info from Brian Medsker was so good, that I would repeat it
again.
To unmount a cdrom that keeps complaining about being busy, do this:
fuser -mv /mnt/cdrom (or where ever you mount the drive)
This will produce a 'ps' style listing of those processes that are using the
cdrom. After killing or restarting the processes from a different location,
you can then issue:
umount /mnt/cdrom
According to the man page you can force the removal of processes by using
this command:
fuser -kmv /mnt/cdrom
Thanks Brian! That has been a tough one for many people.
