Hi.
Usual kinda thing: Linux wont let me umount a cdrom - I've done a (lazy) 
umount -l but (of course) still cannot eject the cdrom.

I want to use the drive.

I dont want to reboot...

I have read in info pages for umount.

Any tips on how to find the process that is keeping the file system busy?

Thanks,

John
