unmount problem
 
When I try to unmount my cdrom, i get the "device is busy" signal. But neither fuser nor lsof shows any programs accessing the cdrom. Why can't I unmount it?

Code:
wunderkiste:/home/lo# umount /cdrom
umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
wunderkiste:/home/lo# fuser /media/cdrom0
/media/cdrom0:
wunderkiste:/home/lo# lsof |grep cdrom
wunderkiste:/home/lo#
PS: I'm usong Debian Sarge

If you were using some application to play audio cds, or a file manager to view files on a data cd, then the cdrom is seen as still busy. Close the apps in question, then try to umount.

@bigrigdriver: But should'nt lsof show something in that case?

Also "cd" out of /cdrom or any of it's subdirs. This too may be blocking the device.
Try using "lsof +D /cdrom" instead of lsof+grep.
But you're right, lsof should mention something.
