    As another datapoint...

    I've had some problems umounting filesystems during ordinary operation.
    I'm running 2.3.99-pre6-2 now. Generally, I'll get a 'device busy' error
    from umount, but I _know_ that the device is not busy.

    I've also noticed from the debugging output I have enabled on my system
    that there are no commands being sent to the device when I try to do the
    umount. Whatever is deciding that the device is busy is not causing any
    accesses to be made to the disk.

    Also, running sync manually seems to work just fine.
